Strong fraud controls are essential to ensure that public funds are used appropriately and for the benefit of those who need them the most.
New fraud refresher training
As part of your mandatory training, you will have already completed the fraud prevention e-learning module. We're also launching a new fraud prevention refresher module on Derbyshire Learning Online.
If you work in finance, this module is mandatory but all colleagues are encouraged to complete this course to reinforce their understanding of fraud and to delve deeper into money laundering, identity, payment and cyber fraud.
Reporting a potential fraud
Remember that most frauds are hard to spot and only come to light when a colleague or service user raises concerns that something doesn't feel quite right.
So please remain vigilant to the risk of fraud and raise any concerns, however small, with our internal audit team, email reportfraud@derbyshire.gov.uk or telephone: 01629 533334.
