Anti-fraud and corruption strategy

The overall aim of this document is to tackle anti-fraud and corruption within our council, and to ensure irregularities are spotted, reported and dealt with appropriately.

The strategy intends to: 

  • acknowledge and understand the areas at risk of fraud
  • prevent fraud from happening
  • detect and stop fraud before it happens
  • recover any losses
  • take action where fraud has been committed
  • prosecute and take legal action
