Charity News: Fraud and the pandemic

A new helpsheet has been published by CCEW, the Fraud Advisory Panel and others that aims to highlight some of the key areas where charities may be vulnerable to fraud as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It identifies the following headline risks for 2021 to be aware of:

Cybercrime
Insider (or Staff/Volunteer) fraud
Procurement fraud
Financial statement fraud.

The helpsheet also provides a checklist to help charities build a defence to counter these fraud risk areas, and provides links to other resources that charities may find of use.
