Fraud: Failure to Prevent
Description
The Failure to Prevent Fraud Offence is part of a landmark piece of legislation that places the responsibility of fraud prevention onto organisations themselves. In response, large companies find themselves needing to increase awareness of internal fraudulent practices and ensure they are actively working to prevent them.
We start by establishing the cost and impact of fraud in the UK, and then explore the kinds of corporate fraud that learners might encounter within their role. Then, we look at a variety of interactive scenarios to outline the correct course of action when encountering corporate fraud. Finally, we explore the legislation that makes the failure to prevent fraud a criminal offence. You'll be able to select your role to understand your responsibilities around fraud prevention and whistleblowing processes and protections.
