This week (17 – 21 October) is Charity Fraud Awareness Week 2022 – a national campaign to raise awareness of fraud and cybercrime affecting the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector. It’s also an opportunity to share best practice advice and guidance to support your organisation.
Who is it for?
- Trustees, directors, board members, staff and volunteers
- Organisations that represent the interests of the sector and/or act as their voice
- Accountants, auditors and solicitors acting as professional advisors to the sector
- Regulators, law enforcers and policymakers working to safeguard the sector, and
