Fraud Data

This information relates to counter fraud work undertaken by the Council. The data relates mainly to the number of staff employed, number of investigations undertaken and the occasions when statutory powers were used.

The Transparency Code 2014 refers to the Audit Commission definition of fraud as an intentional false representation, including failure to declare information or abuse of position that is carried out to make gain, cause loss or expose another to the risk of loss.

The ‘powers’ referred to are those in place allowing the Council to compel certain prescribed bodies to supply it with information.
