Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission Commences Risk Assessment at CDA
The Liberia Anti-Corruption Commission (LACC) has commenced a comprehensive Risk Assessment process at the Cooperative Development Agency (CDA) as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen transparency, accountability, and integrity within public institutions.
According to Part V, Section 5.2(h) of the LACC Act, one of the Commission’s core mandates is to advise and assist public, private, and civil society institutions in designing and implementing procedures and systems that reduce the likelihood of corruption.
In line with this mandate, the Commission has begun conducting institutional assessments at the CDA to identify potential corruption risks and evaluate existing systems and procedures.
As part of the assessment process, questionnaires are currently being distributed and completed by staff and relevant stakeholders to gather additional information necessary for the exercise. Upon completion of the questionnaire phase, the assessment team will proceed with a desk review aimed at further analyzing institutional systems, operational procedures.
The Risk Assessment forms part of the Commission’s preventive anti-corruption strategy, which seeks to proactively identify risks and recommend measures to strengthen institutional safeguards against corruption.
The exercise is also intended to support legal and regulatory compliance while helping institutions implement practical controls that protect them from financial losses, reputational damage, and operational inefficiencies.
