Fraud costs the UK billions of pounds per year and is now believed to account for 40% of all crime committed in the jurisdiction. With only finite public resources available to tackle this economic pandemic, it is becoming more vital than ever that business and industry - which are often at the front line in dealing with the risks posed by fraud - are equipped to tackle this problem head on and to protect and preserve their legitimate interests. The South West Fraud Forum (SWFF) has been set up with the aim of increasing the resilience of regional organisations – in both the private and public sector - to the threats posed by fraud. Run as a collaboration between professional advisors, industry members, the Police and other governmental agencies, the objective of the Forum is simple: to promote fraud awareness, to allow members to understand how best to mitigate against the risks involved, and to increase knowledge of how to respond effectively to fraud if and when it occurs. What are the benefits of membership? By becoming a member of the SWFF you will: • Receive regular updates on key developments and trends affecting your day-to-day business. • Be able to share, benchmark and explore experiences and ideas with people from within your own sector and outside, who have the same concerns and problems as you. • Benefit from great networking opportunities at our events. • Gain access to the members’ section of our website, where you will find speakers’ presentations from our events, a list of members’ contact details, a members’ discussion forum - and more!
