It provides some insights into how fraud and corruption schemes work in public investments. The handbook identifies a range of fraud and corruption indicators, or red flags, and relevant schemes that may become apparent during the life of an investment, from design to implementation. The primary focus of this handbook is fraud and corruption in procurement, with some coverage of general governance issues. It is based on the experience of Poland s Central Anti-Corruption Bureau and the World Bank s Integrity Vice Presidency, and it presents examples referring both to public investments implemented under Polish public procurement law and international competitive bidding. This handbook aims to provide support to the managers of procuring entities in conducting public procurement by identifying frequently occurring irregularities and suggesting methods of preventing them.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABUSEACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MEASURESANTI-BRIBERYANTI-CORRUPTIONANTI-CORRUPTION PROGRAMAPPLICABLE PROCEDURESASSETSAUDITORSAWARD OF CONTRACTSBANK LOANSBID DOCUMENTSBID EVALUATIONBID EVALUATION COMMITTEEBID EVALUATION COMMITTEESBID EVALUATION CRITERIABID EVALUATION REPORTBID OPENINGBID OPENING PROCEDURESBID PRICEBID RIGGINGBID SECURITIESBID SECURITYBID SUBMISSION DEADLINEBIDDERBIDDERSBIDDING COMPANIESBIDDING DOCUMENTSBIDSBORROWERBRIBEBRIBE PAYERBRIBERY CONVENTIONBRIBERY OF FOREIGN PUBLIC OFFICIALSBRIBERY OF PUBLIC OFFICIALSBRIBESCDCDSCIVIL LAWCIVIL SERVANTSCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL WORKSCOLLUSIONCOLLUSIVE PRACTICECOLLUSIVE PRACTICESCOMBATING BRIBERYCOMPETITIVE BIDSCOMPETITIVE MARKETCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENTCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT METHODCOMPETITIVE PROCUREMENT METHODSCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONSTRUCTION WORKSCONSULTING CONTRACTSCONSULTING SERVICESCONSUMER PROTECTIONCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT AWARDSCONTRACT CHANGESCONTRACT EXECUTIONCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCONTRACT PRICECONTRACT PRICESCONTRACT VALUECONTRACTING AUTHORITYCONTRACTORCONTRACTORSCONTRACTS FOR GOODSCONTRACTUAL REMEDIESCONTRACTUAL TERMSCORRUPTCORRUPT ACTIVITYCORRUPT OFFICIALCORRUPT OFFICIALSCORRUPT PRACTICECORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTION OFFENCESCOST ESTIMATECOST ESTIMATESCREDIT GUARANTEESCRIMINALCRIMINAL LAWDEBTDEVELOPMENT BANKDISCRETIONDOMESTIC FIRMSDUE DILIGENCEEMBEZZLEMENTEQUIPMENTEVALUATION COMMITTEE MEMBERSEVALUATION CRITERIAEVALUATION OF BIDSEVALUATION PROCESSEXPRESSION OF INTERESTEXPRESSIONS OF INTERESTFACILITATION PAYMENTSFINANCESFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN COMPANIESFRAUDFRAUDSFRAUDULENT PRACTICEGOVERNANCE ISSUESGOVERNMENT AGENCYGOVERNMENT OFFICIALGOVERNMENT OFFICIALSHOLDINGHUMAN RESOURCESINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL BIDDERSINTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONSINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVE BIDDINGINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONINVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATIVE BODYINVESTIGATORSINVESTMENT ACTIVITIESINVESTMENT BANKINVESTMENT PROJECTSKICKBACKLIABILITYLIQUIDITYLOBBYINGLOCAL BIDDERSLOCAL CONTRACTORSLOCAL CURRENCYLOCAL GOVERNMENTMALFEASANCEMANIFESTATION OF CORRUPTIONMARKET PRICESMEDIAMIDDLEMANMINISTERMOBILE PHONEMONETARY FUNDNATIONAL LAWNATIONAL LAWSNATIONAL PROCUREMENTOFFICIAL GAZETTEOPEN BIDSPERFORMANCE BONDPOLICEPOLITICIANPOLITICIANSPOST-QUALIFICATIONPOTENTIAL BIDDERSPREFERENTIALPRICE FIXINGPRIVATIZATIONPROCUREMENT ACTIONPROCUREMENT ACTIONSPROCUREMENT ACTIVITIESPROCUREMENT CONTRACTSPROCUREMENT DECISIONSPROCUREMENT METHODSPROCUREMENT OF GOODSPROCUREMENT OFFICERPROCUREMENT PLANPROCUREMENT PRACTICESPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT RULESPROCUREMENT STAFFPROCUREMENT SYSTEMPROCUREMENT WORKPROCURING ENTITYPROSECUTIONPROSECUTORPROSPECTIVE BIDDERSPUBLICPUBLIC CONTRACTSPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPUBLIC OFFICIALPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT ACTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT LAWPUBLIC PROCUREMENT OFFICEPUBLIC PROCUREMENTSPUBLIC PROCURING ENTITYPUBLIC SPENDINGPUBLIC TENDERSPUBLIC_PROCUREMENTQUALIFICATION CRITERIAQUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTSQUALIFIED BIDDERSQUALIFIED FIRMSRECOMMENDATION FOR AWARDRESERVESRETURNSANCTIONSANCTIONSSCOPE OF WORKSENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALSSOLICITATIONSSTANDARD CONTRACTSTATE AGENCIESSTATE AGENCYSUPPLIERSTAXTAX RATETECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSTENDER COMMITTEETENDER DOCUMENTSTENDER PROCEDURETENDER PROCESSTRANSPARENCYTRIALTURNOVERWINNING BIDWINNING BIDDER10.1596/18153
