Having been asked to join Legal Village as a blogger, I thought the breakfast seminar on fraud which I spoke at on Wednesday is as good a place to start as any. The Attorney General, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the City of London Police Commissioner also spoke and there was much agreement as well as some good ideas being voiced.
The Government’s Fraud Review highlights that the harm caused by fraud is second only to that caused by Class-A drugs, not least as a result of its relationship with organised crime. This shocking fact demonstrates how fraud is such a relevant issue in the UK. It is becoming a seriously high-tech, complex problem.
