Overview

Fraud is a long-standing threat to public sector organisations, with the National Crime Agency estimating public sector fraud accounts for a loss of £40 billion per year and much of which goes undetected.

Fraudsters have become more sophisticated than ever before and develop techniques to take advantage of every opportunity. Now is the time to develop more effective strategies to anticipate and counteract fraud.

Our Counter-Fraud Training for the Public Sector course has been specifically designed for public sector organisations to gain the necessary tools and techniques to identify, prevent and tackle cases of fraud.
