The production of this Annual Fraud Report
(appendix 4) helps the Council to demonstrate its commitment to
identifying and managing fraud risk by outlining key activities,
processes and findings from the previous year.
The purpose of this report is to present the work carried out
during the past year to minimise the risk of fraud, bribery and
corruption occurring in the Council.
This supports the requirements of the Accounts and Audit
Regulations (England) 2011, which state that the Council must have
measures in place “to enable the prevention and detection of
inaccuracies and fraud.” In this context, we have taken fraud
also to refer to cases of bribery and corruption.
