The European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) provides an independent investigation service in the fight against fraud and other illegal activities detrimental to the EU budget. In 2005 OLAF was the subject of a Special Report by the European Court of Auditors which made a number of recommendations to make its investigative function more efficient and effective. This follow-up report examines whether the original recommendations have been implemented and recommends further measures which could help OLAF improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its investigations.
