Tailored counter fraud support

The Counter Fraud Centre provides bespoke fraud prevention support services to public sector organisations to help safeguard public funds and uphold trust in government institutions.

Proactive fraud prevention measures are the most cost-effective way to minimise financial loss, reputational damage and operational disruption, should fraud occur.

We partner with organisations to understand fraud risks, strengthen controls and implement targeted strategies that reflect the realities of public service delivery. Whether your organisation is enhancing existing frameworks or establishing new ones, we offer tailored counter fraud support services to help strengthen integrity systems and build more fraud-resilient processes.

What are tailored counter fraud support services?

We support organisations to enhance their existing counter fraud activities or implement new ones. The scope and depth of support will vary depending on your organisation’s needs and context.

We review policies and procedures

This may involve benchmarking your organisation’s documents against best practice. Even if minimal feedback is provided, the value lies in confirming that your organisation is on the right track and supporting consistency across organisations.

We deliver targeted training for existing processes

We deliver customised training sessions on specific fraud-related topics. For example, a tailored workshop on fraudster personas for an organisation that uses these personas to categorise cases. Targeted training sessions help encourage consistent application and understanding of systems, processes and policies as they are purpose-built for your organisation.

We conduct fraud perceptions surveys

This survey captures staff perceptions of fraud risks and existing controls within your organisation. The results can highlight areas of concern and guide improvements in specific processes.

We facilitate fraud-focused workshops

These are tailored sessions that explore fraud risks in high-value or high-risk processes (for example, grants, procurement or payroll), using organisation-specific data or scenarios.

We review countermeasure improvements after a fraud incident

We can offer insights on lessons learned or suggest improvements to controls after a fraud incident.

We support development of fraud risk assessments and fraud frameworks

We help organisations identify and assess fraud risks in a way that aligns with their structure, mandate and risk appetite. We can also help support the development of fraud and corruption control frameworks and fraud control plans.

We support development of procedures and processes

We can support your agency to develop counter fraud procedures and processes when establishing new funding streams. This includes emergency funds or time-sensitive initiatives, ensuring appropriate fraud controls are embedded from the outset.
