HOW MUCH OF A THREAT IS FRAUD?

Fraudsters cost the UK economy £14 billion a year according to the National Fraud
Strategic Authority. Barely a day goes by when news of financial identity, cyber or
institutional fraud are not high on the media agenda.

As the cost of fraud both financial and personal continues to escalate, businesses are increasingly seeing the need to strengthen their approach to combating fraud. The
advances in technology mean that businesses have to keep their eye on the ball to
prevent being caught out by fraudsters who are increasingly sophisticated in their
methods.

The existence of fraud in the current financial climate continues to undermine confidence and investment in the UK economy. The continued presence of fraud requires protective measures with immediate application should a party fall victim to fraud.
