As part of the intelligence gathering process, we encourage reports from potential victims, members of the public, employees in organisations who may have relevant information on serious or complex fraud, and corruption. We may also receive referrals from other agencies, the police, or other organisations.
In assessing these referrals we first measure the details against any relevant intelligence that we already hold. Together with any additional, relevant details that we find, we assess the report against our acceptance criteria. There are several factors which can make the difference in the seriousness or complexity of a fraud.
Generally, we take on around 30-40 new cases each year. We consider the information we hold very carefully before we decide whether to take on a case.
