Fraud Prevention

Overview

Fraud within organisations can take several forms, which are identified by the UK Fraud Act 2006 as three primary offences; false representation, failing to disclose information and abusing positions of trust. Fraud always involves deception of some type with the aim of illicit gain or advantage or disadvantage to another person.
