Job description

The World Bank (WB) Integrity Vice Presidency (INT) shares in the WB's overall mission in alleviating poverty and achieving shared and sustainable prosperity in client countries. As part of the WB, INT detects, prevents, and deters fraud and corruption in the use of the WB's financial resources, to ensure that those resources are deployed effectively to benefit the poor people that they are intended to reach. In contributing to the WB's overall mission, INT works closely with other stakeholders across the WB to:
  • Detect, prevent, and deter fraud and corruption in WB-supported projects and activities by:
    • investigating allegations of fraud, corruption, collusion, coercion, or obstruction (the five WB-sanctionable practices) in WB-funded activities;
    • seeking WB sanctions against firms and individuals that have engaged in sanctionable practice(s);
    • using information available to INT to contribute to the operational design and implementation of projects that reduce fraud and corruption risks;
    • working with operational colleagues and other oversight and control units to help prevent fraud and corruption in operations by distilling lessons learned from investigative findings, developing effective risk identification and management tools, preparing remedial recommendations at the project and institutional level to address integrity risks and issues identified through investigations, and by ensuring timely disclosure to the WB Board of risks identified through ongoing or recently completed investigations that are of relevance to new operations presented to the Board for approval;
    • conducting detailed fiduciary reviews of Bank-financed projects in collaboration with WB operations using forensic methodology in order to detect indicators of fraud or corruption and address fraud and corruption risks as early as possible for effective project outcomes;
    • working with sanctioned entities through INT's integrity compliance office in supporting and monitoring their efforts to put in place appropriate integrity compliance programs in order to raise their integrity standards and reduce risks associated with their operations following their release from sanction.
  • Assist Client Countries in their fight against fraud and corruption by:
    • referring investigative findings to the investigative and enforcement authorities in Client Countries and working with authorities, as requested, to follow-up and take action;
    • supporting Client Country counterparts with their preventive and integrity risk mitigation efforts at project and policy levels;
    • contributing to client country capacity development in preventive and forensic techniques;
    • participating in multilateral efforts to mitigate the risks of fraud or corruption in development activities;
    • mining the lessons learned from investigations to deliver training and outreach programs and strengthen the WB's internal controls environment;
    • Enforce the highest standards of professional integrity, and ethical behavior among WB staff and corporate vendors by:
      • investigating allegations of staff misconduct involving significant fraud and corruption; 
      • investigating corporate vendors alleged to have engaged in sanctionable practices; and 
      • mining the lessons learned from those investigations to undertake training and outreach programs and strengthen the WB's internal controls environment.
Reducing fraud and corruption in WB projects helps to ensure that WB funds are used for their intended purposes: to alleviate poverty and to increase prosperity and stability in our borrowing countries. Working with partners in international development institutions, INT's principal goal is to measurably minimize the loss of development assistance funds to fraud and corruption and increase the effectiveness of the WB's development work. To ensure its independence, INT's Vice President reports directly to the President of the WB.

INT is seeking a highly-qualified candidate who has a demonstrated track record of being meticulously thorough and objective and can adapt easily to performing in a diverse and multi-cultural work environment to support the department's core function of investigations.

Duties and Responsibilities

Under the supervision and guidance of INT's Regional Team Leader and the Manager of External Investigations, the Intern will contribute to the investigation of fraud, corruption, collusion, coercion and/or obstruction involving WB operations, Bank-financed projects and Bank-administered funds on the ground, including the following:
  • Conducting appropriate investigative activities including site visits, communications with witnesses and subjects, witness and subject interviews, and contributing to company audits and integrity risk reviews;
  • Conducting background research, including accessing online and physical company registers and files;
  • Reviewing and assessing complaints and allegations including preparing preliminary investigation reports and fact memos;
  • Reviewing and assessing supporting evidence including financial records, procurement documents, email and text correspondence, database searches, and witness interviews;
  • Collecting documentary, photographic and other visual and physical evidence in the field;
  • Drafting and preparing reports of investigative findings with full supporting documentation;
  • Collecting and organizing relevant documentary and electronic information for evidence binders;
  • Translating documents for evidentiary submission, review translations for accuracy, conduct legal research and analysis, review evidence and compile evidence binders in support of INT correspondence and litigation work products; 
  • Proof-read documents, transcripts, and translations to make sure they are accurate and complete; and
  • Perform any other investigation and litigation support activities as required.
