 Fraud - A £20 Billion Industry
Would it surprise you to know that fraud is one
of the fastest growing aspects of our economy? Not surprisingly this is not
one of the growth statistics that Governments want to publicise
Did you know that fraud in the UK is estimated
to be 17 times the cost of burglaries?
The Serious fraud office are at any one time
investigating 70 to 100 frauds - and the frauds that they deal with (£1m+) are just the tip of the iceberg
Social Security fraud alone is costing at least
£4 billion pa (Fraud Advisory Panel Report 2000)
NHS fraud is costing even more (according to
NHS own estimates)
If you think that fraud is not being perpetrated
in your organisation, therefore, you are probably wrong
If you think fraud is a victimless crime, you
also need to think again
16 investors who lost everything as a result
of the Barlow Clowes affair committed suicide!
