Since the launch of the extensive Counter-Fraud Toolkit at the end of February, we’ve added a number of different documents to the collection. The most recent was the note on Ransoms in HEIs, written by Keith Read. HE institutions and local authorities have recently been hit by ransomware attacks, and universities are under increasing pressure to prevent and mitigate the risks of cyber-crime. The note can be downloaded in either a short form or a more detailed resource.
We’ve now added to the Toolkit further with an introduction to Counter-Fraud in the NHS – relevant for universities with Teaching hospitals and other NHS commissioning contracts who will be expected to conform to the standards of NHS counter-fraud requirements. The document has been kindly produced by 360 Assurance, who also delivered a useful presentation on this issue at the counter-fraud conference.
