Fraud risk scan

The fraud risk scan is a free online tool designed to identify potential areas of fraud risk within public sector organisations.

Self-assessment tool

This online survey provides an excellent starting point for employees to assess fraud risks in their organisation, especially those who have little experience in this area. It is also helpful for those looking to boost their counter fraud knowledge. Simply tick the boxes next to the statements that best reflect your organisation’s current practices. You can select multiple options where applicable.

Please note you must complete your self-assessment in one sitting – your responses cannot be saved or resumed later. If you are unsure about a question, answer with the information you currently have and note any areas you would like to explore further in future.

Scan results

Results indicate the potential risk exposure an organisation may face.

The results provide an indicative fraud risk exposure score (low, medium, high) based on the information you provide. 

Use these results as a starting point for further analysis and decision making as part of your organisation's ongoing fraud prevention efforts. There may be other areas not covered by the scan that result in additional fraud risk. We recommend a comprehensive fraud risk assessment even if your indicative score is low risk. Information and recommendations in the results are provided as guidance only and should not be used as a substitute for legal/financial advice or a formal audit. 

You can save and print your results for future reference. If you choose not to, you will not be able to access them later and will need to redo the assessment. Please note that the responses are anonymous so we cannot provide your results if you lose them. Let us know if you work in the public sector and need help interpreting your results or deciding what to do next.
