CIPFA Fraud and Corruption Tracker 2016

The CIPFA Counter Fraud Centre has published the CIPFA Fraud and Corruption Tracker 2016 (CFaCT), providing a national, up-to-date overview of all fraud, bribery and corruption activity throughout the UK public sector.

CFaCT is similar to the former Annual Fraud and Corruption Survey delivered by the Audit Commission and includes questions commissioned by the Fighting Fraud and Corruption Locally Board and the Home Office to give a full picture of the preparedness and actions being taken by local authorities across the country.

CFaCT examines:

• levels of fraud and corruption detected each financial year
• number of investigations undertaken
• types of fraud encountered
• emerging trends.
