ABOUT THIS COURSE
Fraud can make an individual or group feel unsafe or as if their privacy has been violated. Action Fraud reported in September 2017 that around 272,980 fraud offences (in the UK alone) had been carried out in the previous 12 months. According to the Fraud Act 2006, there are 3 types of fraud;:

• Fraud by false representation
• Fraud by failing to disclose information
• Fraud by abuse of position

Preventing fraud, while increasing awareness of the topic within your business, can prevent monetary loses (sometimes major ones) as well as prevent delicate and private information being shared and distributed. This online training will provide you with knowledge on what the signs of fraudulent activity are, what to do if you encounter fraud and how to raise awareness of fraud. There may not be a strict set of rules to follow that will guarantee you or your business do not encounter fraud, but this course will equip you on how best to manage the situation and avoid being a victim of fraud.
