About this course

Fraud can make an individual or group feel unsafe or as if their privacy has been violated. Action Fraud reported in September 2017 that around 272,980 fraud offences (in the UK alone) had been carried out in the previous 12 months.

According to the Fraud Act 2006, there are 3 types of fraud;

  • Fraud by false representation
  • Fraud by failing to disclose information
  • Fraud by abuse of position

Preventing fraud, while increasing awareness of the topic within your business, can prevent monetary loses (sometimes major ones) as well as prevent delicate and private information being shared and distributed. This online training will provide you with knowledge on what the signs of fraudulent activity are, what to do if you encounter fraud and how to raise awareness of fraud. There may not be a strict set of rules to follow that will guarantee you or your business do not encounter fraud, but this course will equip you on how best to manage the situation and avoid being a victim of fraud.

Why is this training important?

Compliance

It’s important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.

The Fraud Act 2006 places accountability on those who commit fraudulent acts. If found guilty, a person could be liable to pay a fine or serve a prison sentence.

As an improvement on the Theft Act 1968, it aims to keep up with changing technologies and enables those who are guilty of committing these crimes to be prosecuted.

In conjunction with the Fraud Act, this course incorporates how your organisation can raise awareness of fraudulent activity with how to prevent it from occurring.

The Act provides for a general offence of fraud with three ways of committing it, which are by false representation, by failing to disclose information and by abuse of position. It creates new offences of obtaining services dishonestly and of possessing, making and supplying articles for use in frauds. It also contains a new offence of fraudulent trading applicable to non-corporate traders.
