This briefing summarises what our NHS clients have told us they are doing around strategic governance, financial governance, and fraud in response to COVID-19, as well as outlining areas for consideration and good practice.

This quarterly Counter Fraud newsletter has been designed to highlight topical areas of fraud within the NHS and raise awareness of why we need to combat it effectively. By giving interesting case examples, this newsletter will help you to identify what fraud is and offers the correct reporting lines if you suspect fraud is occurring within your organisation.

This report shares the best practice identified as a result of our reviews of Policy Monitoring across a number of clients. The policies reviewed were Complaints, Mandatory Training and IT Access although some of the findings are applicable to policy monitoring more generally.

This year we undertook a client-wide shared learning project with @AuditYorkshire focusing on recruitment in the NHS (which always features highly in Assurance Frameworks). The summary report is available now – click on the picture below.
