Scoping study on fraud centres:Ghana, India and Nigeria

The 2023 HMG Fraud Strategy indicated that fraud poses a significant threat to the people, prosperity and security of the United Kingdom (UK). It is by far the most common crime and now accounts for over 40% of all offences in England and Wales. Ghana, India and Nigeria have been identified as key jurisdictions of risk for fraud that targets the UK. This research investigated the dynamics of fraud in these three countries and assessed the current response, to identify where the UK can be more active in preventing and tackling fraud.
