Info

The Council is required by law to protect the public funds we administer. Fraud and error costs public services an estimated £21 billion a year (National Fraud Authority (NFA) 2012 Annual Fraud Indicator). For example, council tax fraud is estimated to cost local authorities is now thought to cost £131 million a year, which is an increase of 32% from 2011 figures. In an effort to protect against and tackle fraud, the Council is once again taking part in the National Anti Fraud Initiative. We are therefore sharing information provided to us with other bodies through the Audit Commission to detect potential fraudulent activity. We are undergoing a Systems Thinking Intervention into Benefit Fraud Service. This has been supported by the Department of Work and Pensions to deliver improvement in the quality of the service. A new process for dealing with potential benefit fraud is being drawn up to ensure that we focus on the work of most value to the Council. This includes joint working with the Job Centre Plus, training of staff and preventative work. During the first 2 quarters of this year, we there have been 2 prosecutions, 4 administrative penalties and 1 caution issued. This equates to overpayments of nearly £6,000 of housing benefit, council tax benefit, and council tax discount, and nearly £20,000 of other benefit fraud. The work on the revision of the Corporate Plan 2011-14 Critical Activities includes an assessment of potential risks associated with the delivery of these and mitigating actions to be taken.
