Failure to Prevent Fraud E-Learning Package

Organisations in scope of the Act are required to take measures to minimise the risk of fraud, and providing training to staff is just one of the ways this can be achieved. Even if your organisation is not in scope, it makes good sense to ensure compliance. Fraud poses a significant threat to the UK public sector by diverting valuable resources away from essential services and undermining public trust. It can result in substantial financial losses, which ultimately affect taxpayers and the quality of public services provided.
