Abstract

European Bureau for the Suppression of Fraud - OLAF appeared in the organizational sense a decade ago solely as a guardian of the state budget of the European Union. From year to year it has expanded functions and investigative activities of the administrative type of preventive, advisory, and repre-ssive terms. As the EU institutions, OLAF is operationally independent acting under special rules and reguiations of the European Commission. Under the patronage of the European Commission to Croatia as a future member of the European Union, established the so-called Croatian OLAF under AFCOS with basic tasks in ensuring the protection of financial interests of the European Union to establish a system to combat irregularities and fraud. OLAF cooperates closely with EU bodies such as Eurojust, EUROPOL and other international bodies such as IGAC, IGEC, OECD.
