The Public Sector Counter Fraud Awards 2024 | GovNet Fraud | 26 November 2024 | TBA, TBA

What better way to start 2024 than recognising the incredible achievements of those working in Counter Fraud.

This award is open to all members of the Government Counter Fraud Profession who have demonstrated the values in the Profession’s Code of Conduct: courage, collaborative, challenging or objective.

With 7,000 members from 65 organisations working in Investigation, Intelligence and Fraud Risk Assessment, GCFP has a real impact on fraud against the public sector.

Nominees should be someone who, in your opinion, over the last year has gone above and beyond what you would expect. This could be: as part of an investigation into a difficult case; analysing intelligence to make firm recommendations; or embedding new fraud risk assessment processes; or someone who has helped promote or develop the Profession.

They may have developed a new way of doing something, it may be a new product, process, or innovative new approach, or involve new technology that has been embraced, resulting in either better systems, improved outcomes or long-term achievements. They will have demonstrated the core values and behaviours of their organisation.
