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.
