Since the launch of the Council’s Counter-Fraud and Corruption Strategy in 2019, the Council’s Senior Management Team has participated in Fraud and Corruption Tracker assessments, mandatory fraud awareness training has been launched and completed across the organisation via eLearning for PC users and face-to-face training for the remaining workforce, with targeted publicity campaigns across the organisation to support fraud awareness and vigilance.
To support the Council to tackle fraud, it is vital that we all keep up to date on the risk of fraud, bribery and corruption and that we do all we can to prevent and detect it. The Strategy has been updated to include enhanced oversight, by introducing a Counter-Fraud Oversight Board, a commitment to continued fraud risk assessment and assurance, further communication and refreshed fraud awareness training. A small number of Counter-Fraud Operational Policies have also been refreshed.
