The 12th to 18th November was International Fraud Awareness Week. The week-long campaign encouraged business leaders and employees to proactively take steps to minimise the impact of fraud by promoting anti-fraud awareness and education. In ESFA, they take their responsibility as guardians of public money seriously, having their Counter Fraud Strategy embedded throughout the agency. Their strategy of ‘Prevent, Detect, Deter and Protect’ supports their key objectives; to minimise their fraud and error losses, maximise their prevention and detection and maximise our recoveries and redress. Following on from the awareness week, they want to encourage everyone to promote fraud awareness and have a conversation about the importance of countering fraud. Click here for more.
