Overview

Cross Civil Service

A fraud perpetrated against a public body is never a victimless crime. Those who rely on government services, such as the elderly, the vulnerable, the sick and the disadvantaged, are often the ones most harmed directly or indirectly by fraud. Bribery and corruption can have a similarly devastating impact on public services, diminishing trust in government and public institutions and undermining the rule of law.

This digital course is designed to help protect taxpayers’ money by raising awareness of what constitutes fraud, bribery and corruption, the impact it can have and how to minimise the risk of it occurring. As well as exploring the motivations for indulging in fraud, bribery and corruption, the course contains real-life examples of such activity and the significant effect it can have.
