The Charity Commission has issued guidance to charities on how to avoid fraud and cyber crime. This is relevant to PCCs, who are recognised as charities, even if currently excepted from registration.
Guidance from the Charity Commission
Protect your charity from fraud
The fraud guide explains what to do if fraud or attempted fraud is discovered at a charity and provides tips on how to reduce the risk of fraud taking place. It explains the importance of having strong internal financial controls.
Protect your charity from cyber crime
The cyber crime guidance seeks to help charities protect themselves from this ongoing threat by highlighting the importance of establishing an internal culture of fraud and cyber crime awareness.
