The Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority (ADAA) has been charged with setting up a new anti-corruption unit. According to state news agency Wam, the new unit will investigate financial irregularities and corruption, identify gaps in legislation and internal audit regulations and propose means to address them. ADAA – established in 2008 to audit government bodies, investigate corruption and set up anti-fraud programmes - is to draft the appropriate legislation and put mechanisms in place to “realise the leadership’s aspirations for efficient government functioning and an adequate climate for the development process”.
