August 14, 2025

When EUPOL COPPS Financial Verification Officer, Khadija Aldeek from Palestine , sits down at her desk, she does not just see numbers on spreadsheets or invoices; she sees the foundation of trust that holds the entire mission together. At EUPOL COPPS, the Birzeit University accounting graduate reviews transactions to ensure they are in line with E rules, related internal policy and international best practices. Having worked with international organisations and with major Palestinian companies, she brings international know-how together with local knowledge to her job.
For Khadija financial verification is not a box-ticking exercise, but a necessary step towards accountability and transparency. She sees it not just as a rule to be followed, but as a safeguard—a way of making sure every euro is spent as it ought, of building trust, and of keeping the Mission’s financial systems secure. In the seven months she’s been working at EUPOL COPPS, she has made a real impact. Her influence extends beyond paperwork. She is a valued mentor to colleagues across departments, helping to clarify on procedures and best practices.
Her no-nonsense, calm approach has also made her a source of contact for employees who are struggling with money matters. She’s made many see this work differently, transforming it from a chore into a chance for development and learning. “Done correctly, financial verification protects the entire organisation. It’s not just about finding mistakes—it’s a matter of trust-establishment, system-strengthening, and knowing that every decision is being made on the foundation of accurate, verified information,” she says.
