Webinar on Examining Corruption Risks in Sovereign Wealth Funds
April 11 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Please join us on Friday, April 11 at 2pm UTC for a webinar examining corruption risks in sovereign wealth funds. Holding billions of dollars worth of national assets—often from extractive industries—sovereign wealth funds and their governance approaches are not well understood, raising questions about corruption and other risks.
To shed light on this topic, the webinar will feature the 2024 report published by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace — Sovereign Wealth Funds: Corruption and Other Governance Risks. The webinar will cover key findings from the report across a spectrum of sovereign wealth funds and will provide an opportunity for questions and answers with the author. The webinar will feature one of the authors of the report, Lakshmi Kumar, the former policy director at Global Financial Integrity and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. She has also been a senior fellow at George Mason University as well as a lawyer and policy professional in India, working with governments and regulatory agencies across South Asia, East Africa, and Eurasia to investigate money laundering and terrorist financing risks to their financial systems.
This event will be broadcast externally to members of the INTOSAI Working Groups on the Audit of Extractive Industries and on the Fight Against Corruption and Money Laundering. It will also be recorded for future viewing.
