Recommendation 12

At present much work on sharing best practice and increasing digital and counter-fraud capability across government is carried on through networks and communities of practice, though not all colleagues who might benefit from these sessions are in attendance.29 The PSFA told us that it works with DSIT and the community of practice to produce guidance and training to reflect the nature of counter-fraud work, and building standards and qualifications for people working in fraud.30 The Government Counter-Fraud Function also circulates guidance, including guidance on data analytics pilot schemes to combat fraud that it produced in conjunction with counter-fraud colleagues from Australia.31
