What it examines
This rapid review examined how FCDO assesses, monitors and influences fraud risk management in organisations receiving core UK funding; the World Bank was among its six case studies. It identified weaknesses in oversight across the multilateral portfolio and recommended a coordinated approach to governance risks and stronger donor coalitions.
Why it matters
Addresses the assurance the UK obtains when contributing to institutions whose audit and governance arrangements are shared with other member countries.
