Counter fraud training and support

Online courses

The Corporate Governance training courses on My Learning include 2 mandatory modules to help us all fight fraud, corruption, bribery and money-laundering.

Every year you should complete:

• anti-fraud and corruption training – learn to spot the signs of fraud and corruption and report them effectively
• anti-bribery and money laundering training – how to prevent bribery and detect and report money laundering

The Counter Fraud team can offer additional support with:
