Fraud Awareness at Work Fraud can have serious and far-reaching consequences for any organisation, including financial losses, reputational harm, penalties and even criminal convictions. In Northern Ireland, the rate of fraud is rising at an unprecedented pace, affecting organisations across all sectors. Legal Island’s Fraud Awareness at Work eLearning course is designed to address this growing risk. It raises awareness among employees by helping them recognise the warning signs of fraud and understand how to detect, prevent and respond appropriately. The course is tailored specifically to Northern Irish law and provides comprehensive compliance training for all staff.
Overview

Safeguard Your Organisation Against Fraud

Fraud is a serious criminal offence. Both individuals and organisations involved in fraudulent activities may face prosecution and criminal charges. A zero-tolerance approach is essential, and responsibility for maintaining this standard is shared across the organisation.

Employees are a vital part of your organisation’s first line of defence. Their awareness, ethical conduct and vigilance are essential in protecting your team, your customers and your organisation’s reputation.

This fraud awareness training course equips staff with practical tools to spot and report suspicious activity. It empowers them to act responsibly, uphold best practices and create a culture of integrity within the workplace.

Importance of Training

Why Fraud Awareness Training is Essential in Northern Ireland?

Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, large organisations in Northern Ireland can be held liable for failing to prevent fraud committed by individuals associated with their business.

However, organisations may be able to defend against prosecution by demonstrating that reasonable fraud prevention procedures were in place, such as providing regular, all-staff fraud awareness training.

While this legal obligation primarily targets large organisations, businesses of all sizes are strongly encouraged to implement robust fraud prevention measures. Proactive training not only reduces risk, but also strengthens ethical business practices and demonstrates a clear commitment to compliance.

Who is it for

Who needs Fraud Awareness training?

Everyone in the organisation has a responsibility to help prevent, detect and report fraud. It is vital that all staff understand the policies and procedures in place in your organisation to ensure fraudulent offences are not committed during the course of their duties.

Integrating this eLearning course into your organisation’s wider fraud prevention strategy will help employees build the confidence to recognise and report suspicious behaviour effectively.
