About the Government Counter Fraud Profession
The GCFP is a structure for counter fraud specialists working in central government. It aims to bring the counter fraud community together under a common set of standards and develop that community as they protect public services and fight economic crime. As part of this new and active community, members will not only gain recognition and credibility for their specialist skill set, but also have access to the standards, guidance and products to help members develop their own career – not just with a focus on investigation, but now with a move towards new areas of risk assessment, prevention and the use of data analytics.
By helping organisations across the public sector see what skills, knowledge and experience is needed to effectively prevent and tackle fraud, the GCFP puts the HM Government in a much stronger position to deal with the challenges presented by fraud, bribery and corruption; and enhances the UK’s reputation as a global leader in this field.
What does the GCFP do?
The GCFP is transforming the public sector counter fraud activity, making the UK public sector better at identifying, preventing and recovering losses from fraud and other economic crime. Its impact will reach across the public sector, benefiting individuals and the organisations they work for.
