Recommendation 16

The NAO report noted that, at present, there is no available library of counter-fraud tools and examples for government bodies to refer to.45 It recommended that the PSFA should maintain a library of digital counter- fraud control that public bodies can use to find ways to address their fraud risks.46 The PSFA told us that it felt that this was a useful recommendation and is taking the project forward.47 DSIT told us that it was in the process of creating a single register of data assets that will ultimately underpin a platform that enables data sharing across government. Its intention is that this will highlight instances of successful data sharing and encourage government bodies to learn from them.48 44 Letter from the Public Sector Fraud Authority, 12 March 2026 45 C&AG’s Report, para 2.6 46 C&AG’s Report, recommendation 2 47 Q 83 48 Qq 27 and 43-44 15 3 Building public trust and optimising related legislation Transparency and maintaining public trust
