Their presentations focused on the development of internal documents in line with applicable legislation, risk management and the introduction of internal control methods through a double control system and specialized software.

“Combating corruption, money laundering and terrorism financing is a priority political objective, which should be underpinned by the relevant legislative framework, adequate financial, personnel and organizational resources and appropriate tools,” Ambassador Natalya Drozd, head of the OSCE Center in Ashgabat, said.
