The National Authority for Probity, Prevention and the Fight Against Corruption (INPPLC) and Morocco’s three financial sector regulators, Bank Al-Maghrib (BAM), the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC) and the Insurance and Social Welfare Supervisory Authority (ACAPS), held their sixth annual high-level meeting in Rabat on Tuesday, October 20, to review implementation of the cooperation agreement on preventing and combating corruption in the financial sector (CASF), signed in November 2019.
“The meeting reviewed implementation of the agreement over the 2025-2026 period and approved the roadmap for 2027-2028. It also provided an opportunity to discuss recent developments in corruption prevention and the fight against corruption at the national and international levels,” the four institutions said in a joint statement.
The 2025-2026 period saw several initiatives aimed at strengthening sector-wide efforts to prevent and combat corruption, according to the statement.
These included targeted training and awareness sessions attended by more than 900 staff members from the institutions that signed the agreement. The signatories also strengthened their partnership with the Moroccan Foundation for Financial Education (FMEF) to enhance its trainers’ expertise in probity and corruption prevention.
The exchange of experience and dissemination of best practices in combating corruption also continued, notably through the fourth edition of the Forum of ISO 37001-certified organizations. The event brought together more than 70 officials and executives from 40 organizations in the financial and non-financial sectors.
Participation from both sectors, with growing involvement from the non-financial sector, illustrates how these efforts are generating momentum beyond the financial sector itself.
The four signatories also actively participated in several national and international meetings dedicated to integrity, corruption prevention and the fight against corruption, further demonstrating their commitment to sharing experience.

At the same time, the three financial authorities continued working with the INPPLC to assess and regulate corruption risks within the financial system.
The 2027-2028 roadmap aims to strengthen expertise, promote a culture of integrity across the sector through the development of guides and the organization of training and awareness sessions, and further expand the sharing of experience and best practices.
It also places particular emphasis on implementing action plans drawn up following corruption risk assessments across the financial sector, developing partnerships with academic institutions and strengthening cooperation with counterpart institutions internationally.
The INPPLC is also expected to obtain ISO 37001 certification in 2027, under the international standard for anti-bribery management systems.
At the end of the meeting, the four institutions reaffirmed their determination to continue and deepen their cooperation on preventing and combating corruption in the financial sector.
They also reiterated their shared commitment to actively contributing to national efforts in this area, particularly by exchanging experience and developing joint initiatives that could serve as a model for other sectors, the statement concluded.
