Dear Colleagues

On behalf of the organisers, the New York based United Nations Investigations Offices of OIOS, UNDP, UNICEF and UNFPA, we welcome you to the 18th Conference of International Investigators, whether you are attending the Pre-Conference training or the Conference itself.

Welcome to New York and to the Glen Cove Mansion whose purpose-built conference facilities we are sure will add to both the impact and enjoyment of the Conference.

We would like to thank the small army from our four offices whose unstinting efforts and hard-work have made this week possible.

UNFPA have taken responsibility for arranging, facilitating and hosting the Pre-Conference training. They have put together a highly relevant, interesting and informative training programme delivered by trainers who are active and experienced practitioners.

Turning to the Conference, the key theme is relevance, that is to say it is focussed on the issues facing us as International Investigators. We have been able to put together what we believe is an interesting, dynamic and relevant programme and we have been overwhelmed by offers from Conference attendees to contribute to the Conference as trainers, panel members and plenary speakers. Of the 150 participants, over 40 are actively contributing in that way.

We have also been able to attract an eclectic mix of external speakers who we are sure will be able to bring their personal experience and knowledge to bear on the Conference. We are grateful for their interest and their participation.

We truly hope that the Conference is informative, enriching and meets your expectations and that you are not only able to renew old acquaintances and friendships but also make new ones.

Ben Swanson Director, Investigations Division, UN Office of Internal Oversight Services Brett Simpson Head of Investigations, Office of Audit and Investigations, UNDP Eva Bolkart Head of Investigations, Office of Audit and Investigations Services, UNFPA
