Charity Fraud Awareness Week took place this week; an initiative led by the Fraud Advisory Panel in collaboration with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Its purpose was to address fraud and cybercrime by increasing awareness and promoting best practices. The latest Charity Fraud Report 2024, produced by BDO and the Fraud Advisory Panel, reveals that nearly half of charities had experienced actual or attempted fraud in the preceding year. Almost all of these organisations suffered financial losses as a result. Over half of the fraud incidents were committed by internal perpetrators, highlighting a persistent challenge within the sector. We were proud to have been part of this important initiative, with Ashley Fairbrother co-presenting a successful case study where the perpetrators of fraud against Macmillan Cancer Support were recently brought to justice - demonstrating the vital role of private prosecutions in combatting fraud. #privateprosecutions #charityfraud #stopcharityfraud #cybercrime

One key theme that’s clear this year and throughout our campaign: together we are stronger against fraud. 💪 Check out this article by Dave Carter MBE from British Council on the power of charities working together to fight fraud! https://lnkd.in/eSr3mUs7 #CharityFraud #StrongerTogether #FraudPrevention
