Anti-fraud and corruption strategy
The Anti Fraud and Corruption Strategy recognises that the
Council as a large organisation is at risk of loss due to fraud and
corruption both from within the Council and outside it. In meeting
our responsibilities relating to fraud and corruption, whether
attempted internally or externally, we are committed to an
effective anti-fraud and corruption strategy designed to:
- Encourage prevention
- Promote detection
- Ensure effective investigation where suspected fraud or
corruption has occurred
- Prosecute offenders where appropriate
There is an expectation and requirement that all members,
employees, consultants, contractors, and service users be fair and
honest, and if able to do so, provide help, information and support
to assist the investigation of fraud and corruption. In addition
advice on how members of the public may raise suspicions about
fraud and corruption is contained in Appendix 1 to the
Strategy.
