Procurement fraud is the second highest detected fraud in the UK public sector, behind only tax fraud. Recent estimates of the cost of procurement fraud to the public sector are in the region of £2.3 billion per annum. Public services in Wales cannot continue to be delivered in the current format – fact.
As a result, many services will be delivered in a number of different collaborative models. The procurement and commissioning of these services has the potential for an increase in fraudulent activity.
The aim of this webinar was to share the approaches, experiences and learning from recognised bodies that are supporting public services in Wales to mitigate exposure to potential fraudulent activity.
