It’s estimated that the cost of fraud to UK businesses could be as high as £190 billion each year, with over 70 per cent of fraud occurring in the private sector and over 20 per cent in the public sector.
An increasing number of companies are experiencing fraud, or finding they need to invest more to prevent it.
