Customer Feedback
Why Is Fraud Prevention Training Important?
Fraud is the most common corporate crime in the UK. Every organisation is vulnerable, and too many fail to identify fraud before losses accumulate. The reason? Many frontline employees often don’t understand what fraud actually looks like or how to respond.
Fraud awareness training equips employees with the knowledge to recognise different types of fraud and take action when red flags appear. They will understand how fraud occurs in everyday work, such as processing invoices, approving payments and handling customer data – and the steps they can take to protect the organisation.
The course highlights simple controls that all employees can apply to reduce fraud risks within and outside the organisation, including cyber-enabled fraud—the fastest-growing fraud threat in the UK. It also explains how to raise concerns safely and highlights protections for whistleblowers so staff feel confident to speak up and scrutinise inconsistencies.
Providing a certified Fraud Prevention course is also central to compliance with the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, which introduced the Failure to Prevent Fraud offence. Now, large organisations are required to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud – training is expected to be one of these steps.
While SMEs are not currently affected by the Failure to Prevent Fraud, they remain the most common target for fraudsters. We strongly recommend that all businesses implement anti-fraud procedures for the financial safety of their organisation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Training helps prevent fraud and protect an organisation’s finances. It achieves this in two ways: by helping staff proactively recognise fraud risks before they’re exploited, and by ensuring they know how to respond correctly and confidently when fraud is identified.
Providing this training also supports compliance with UK law and demonstrates reasonable steps to prevent fraud.
A fraud awareness programme strengthens vigilance and accountability across an organisation. Effective programmes follow a top-down approach, with leaders setting the tone and managers reinforcing policies in day-to-day work. This should be supported by employee training, which casts a wider net to spot red flags.
A programme should also embed anti-fraud policies as workplace procedures and ensure they’re reviewed and updated regularly. Taken together, these measures create an organisation-wide culture that is better able to prevent fraud and demonstrate compliance.
Awareness training explains what fraud is and alerts employees to the situations fraudsters exploit, as well as the subtle behaviours, inconsistencies and red flags that can give it away. With this awareness, staff will be better positioned to resist fraud and respond appropriately to suspected wrongdoing.
