The Small Charities Guide to Preventing Fraud

Charity Finance Group (CFG) has launched a guide to help small charities counter fraud. The guide, The Small Charities Guide to Preventing Fraud looks at measures that charities can put into place to help them stop fraud.

With Small Charities Week celebrating the accomplishments of small charities across the UK, now is an excellent time for organisations to reassess their work on preventing fraud. Small charities are just as liable to becoming victims of fraud as large charities.

This guide will help small charities to understand what fraud is, outline the steps they need to protect themselves against fraud, highlight what tell-tale signs to look out for to detect fraud, know what to do once they have detected fraud and where to report fraud when it has occurred.

To complement The Small Charities Guide to Preventing Fraud, CFG has also produced a The Charities Counter Fraud Checklist. This checklist is designed to help charities to establish (or strengthen) their counter-fraud policy. The checklist asks ten essential questions that all charities should be thinking about when working to tackle fraud.

The Small Charities Guide to Preventing Fraud and The Charities Counter Fraud Checklist are free to download.
