Project Details
Description
The purpose of this project was to revisit the 2012 judgement on the measurement of total fraud (reported and unreported) and determine if there has been any development in methods or data that could be applied to enable more robust measurement and propose an appropriate methodology to measure fraud losses in the different modalities of aid if feasible.
The scope of the review covered financial years 2020 to 2022 using high level management information on losses and recoveries from closed cases and involved conducting interviews with service providers.
The review was conducted over a period of three months and that included time for report writing.
The final report aimed to determine who in the delivery chain bears the cost of fraud and test that FCDO’s approach to the recovery of losses meets the requirement for managing public money.
