Goal and impact

The City of Amsterdam has been applying the Bibob Act since 2003. The Bibob Act enables the City of Amsterdam to carry out a Bibob assessment (integrity assessment) to prevent us from facilitating criminal activities when granting licences, awarding grants, awarding public contracts or entering into property transactions. 

The Bibob dashboard provides insight into and an overview of the cases subject to a Bibob assessment. We use this to produce management figures at city, borough and sector level. For example, it can provide an overview of: 

• The number of open and closed cases  
• the results of the assessments  
• the number of cases per sector  
• the (average) processing times  
• the types of documents in the cases  
• the data quality of the files.  

This enables the local authority to monitor the process and make improvements where necessary. 

Considerations

• Efficiency and speed: large volumes of data are analysed automatically. This produces rapid reports containing up-to-date and relevant information (trends and patterns that would be difficult to identify manually). 
• Consistency and objectivity: the dashboard provides a consistent way of analysing and presenting cases and associated data. This reduces the risk of human error or subjective interpretations. 
• Insight into process improvement: by automatically displaying lead times, processing status and data quality, we can quickly identify bottlenecks. This helps the local authority to implement targeted improvements and make the process more efficient. 
• Data integration: the dashboard can consolidate data from different parts of the organisation, providing a comprehensive and integrated view of the cases. 

Human intervention

Co-ordinators and staff use the dashboard’s findings to gain insight into the practical realities of the assessment process. The dashboard’s data visualisations enable them to check whether current policy is being applied correctly and whether there are any notable trends. This may relate to specific sectors, city districts or periods where the figures deviate, or to the impact of information exchange with supply chain partners on the assessments. Based on these analyses, staff can make adjustments where necessary to improve the process.

Risk management

• Uses only the necessary data (only what is also entered into the case management systems); 
• Access to data visualisations is restricted by personal authorisation based on role/function (only for those authorised to access the case management systems); 
• Substantive assessment is carried out by a human; 
• A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) has been carried out on the OOV data warehouse; 
• A DPIA has been carried out for the Bibob process; 
• The dashboard also displays the data quality of the files in the case management systems in which the data is recorded.

Technical design

The data from the case management systems in which we record the Bibob assessments is fed into the OOV data warehouse and displayed on a dashboard. Here, for example, the data is displayed by selected time period, broken down by sector, outcome, borough, processing time, type of legal entity and document types.
