About us

The Southeast Europe Integrity Summit is a groundbreaking, collaborative initiative organized by the Bulgarian Association of Anti-Financial Crime Experts (BAAFCE), ACFE Serbia, ACFE Croatia, and ACFE Hungary. This first-ever regional event is designed to be an annual forum that rotates among participating countries, providing a unique platform to share expertise, foster cross-border cooperation, and address critical and emerging topics in the financial crime landscape.

Our mission is to cultivate a strong partnership among anti-financial crime professionals across Southeast Europe, reinforcing education, knowledge exchange, and mutual support. By bringing together experts from the public and private sectors, academia, civil society, and investigative journalism, the conference aims to advance understanding and build effective strategies to combat corruption, fraud, and related financial crimes in the region.

The conference serves as an open, inclusive platform encouraging collaboration beyond the founding associations, welcoming additional countries and regional partners committed to strengthening anti-financial crime efforts. Through dialogue, research presentations, panels, and networking opportunities, the event seeks to sustain a vibrant community dedicated to transparency, integrity, and systemic resilience.

Together, we envision this conference as a cornerstone for ongoing regional cooperation, innovation, and education—helping to shape a future where financial crime is effectively challenged through shared knowledge and united action.
