Netherlands Assessment
Netherlands Country BriefInstitutional resilience to corruption is strong across the Netherlands’ defence sector. Parliamentary oversight and auditing mechanisms are strong, financial management is largely transparent and corruption risk mitigation measures in personnel management are effective. Nevertheless, procurement oversight could be strengthened as could anti-corruption safeguards for operations.
