The Board of Directors, meeting this afternoon, approved, among other matters, the Port Authority's anti-fraud plan prepared by Keep Compliance S.L., a company specializing in regulatory compliance, which had already presented its work to the port councilors in June. The purpose of this plan is to establish policies, procedures, and methodologies that will allow compliance with the provisions of Order HPF/1030/2021 of September 29, which establishes the management system for the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan. The anti-fraud control measures place particular emphasis on the execution of the MRR (Recovery and Resilience Mechanism) funds, taking into account the exclusively administrative powers attributed to the Port Authority. The Plan will be reviewed annually and is designed around four main areas of combating fraud: prevention, detection, correction, and prosecution. The document also outlines the procedure for addressing potential conflicts of interest and applies to all Port Authority actions and projects financed by NEXT GENERATION and MRR funds within the framework established by the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
