The Examination Board (EB) must safeguard the quality of the assessments in terms of reliability, validity, and transparency. If fraud is committed, the reliability of the assessment results can no longer be guaranteed. Preventing and detecting fraud and taking appropriate measures if fraud is detected has everything to do with ensuring the quality of assessment. It is a responsibility that lies with both the management (care, quality assurance; Dutch: kwaliteitszorg) and the Examination Board (safeguarding; Dutch: kwaliteitsborging).
Relating to fraud, EB's have special tasks regarding:
1) Ensuring the quality of the organization and the procedures surrounding examinations and assessments. The EB doesn't have to organize for instance the test taking, but has to keep an eye that adequate procedures are in place and are followed. If the EB thinks or receives signals that the right procedures are not in place, they can discuss this with the programme management.
2) Decide what measures should be taken in instances of fraud. How an EB in general deals with fraud cases should be described in the R&R. The instance it occurs, the EB decides how to act in this specific situation.
Definitions of what constitutes fraud is set out in the Student Charter and (general guidelines) EER.
