Abstract: Abstract The aim of this study is to identify indicators at country level that could prove useful in improving the effectiveness of fraud detection in European Structural and Investment Funds. The chapter analyses EU funds, belonging to the period 2014–2020, from and the study suggests the convenience of tracking funds, especially in countries with higher GDP and higher transparency levels, and the lesser relevance of the number of irregularities for countries with higher GDP and those receiving larger funds. Fraud and fraud detection rates in individual funds vary significantly across states. Federal states, such as the Federal Republic of Germany, are comparatively successful in detecting fraud in EU funds.
