International Fraud Awareness Week 2021

Sunday (14th) saw the start of the International Fraud Awareness Week 2021.

This week has been run by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners since 2000 as a dedicated time to raise awareness about fraud. To cite from the bespoke website:

“The week-long campaign encourages business leaders and employees to proactively take steps to minimize the impact of fraud by promoting anti-fraud awareness and education. Organizations and individuals are encouraged to register as Official Supporters prior to International Fraud Awareness Week, and to host training opportunities, distribute anti-fraud information or otherwise promote anti-fraud activities during the week.”

One of the supporters of this week is the London Borough of Hillingdon, as is evident from their tweet on the first day of the week:
