The Counter-Fraud Policy sets out our zero-tolerance approach to fraud. It outlines how fraud risks will be managed across the organisation and how suspected, or identified, fraud will be managed as part of robust corporate governance arrangements designed to enable and support the delivery of our vision and priorities.

We take fraud seriously and all cases of actual and suspected fraud will be thoroughly and promptly investigated and appropriate action taken.

Should you wish to report a suspected fraud or irregularity please send all relevant details to internalaudit@northlan.gov.uk
