UN-Women is an accountable and trustworthy development organization that manages its financial and other resources with integrity and in line with its programmatic ambitions and fiduciary obligations

UN Women Colombia strengthened its organizational accountability and financial integrity by reinforcing internal controls, improving risk management practices, and ensuring consistent compliance with corporate and donor requirements. Oversight of implementing partners (CSOs) was enhanced through continued training and follow-up on financial controls, ensuring proper documentation, justification of expenditures, and adherence to fiduciary standards. Updated financial and fraud risk matrices informed senior management and supported decision-making, while regular financial closures sustained traceability and transparency. The office also contributed to regional capacity-building by training other offices on fraud risk management, promoting coherent application of corporate policies across the region.
