Worried about fraud? Charity Fraud Awareness Week creates a safe space for charities/NGOs/not-for-profits and their supporters to talk about fraud and how to prevent it.
About the campaign
Charity Fraud Awareness Week, which runs from the 17th to the 21st October, 2022, is an award-winning awareness campaign, run by a partnership of charities/NGOs/ not-for-profits, regulators, law enforcers, representative and umbrella bodies, and other not-for-profit stakeholders from across the world.
Now in its seventh year, it brings the sector together to share knowledge, expertise, and good practice in fraud prevention, at a time when many in the sector continue to remain susceptible to fraud and cybercrime.
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, solicitors, and insurers acting as professional advisors to the sector
