Welcome to International Fraud Awareness Week
In the fight against fraud, prevention is the collective responsibility of individuals, organisations, and governments together.
This year’s theme – Fraud Prevention in Focus aims to equip you with the knowledge to spot early warning signs. Look out for fraud red flags such as living beyond one's means and facing financial difficulties. The full list of top red flags is pictured below.
To bolster fraud prevention efforts across diverse organisational settings, the Crime and Corruption Commission has curated a suite of resources from various integrity agencies.
- CCC's Corruption Prevention Toolkit: This toolkit offers a range of resources, including advisories, case studies, and best practice guides.
- Multimedia Content: Explore the content from the International Fraud Awareness Week website and the Commonwealth Fraud Prevention Centre (CFPC). These range from informative videos and posters to interactive elements like ‘choose your own adventure’ games, crosswords, and word searches.
- Pre-Recorded Webinars: Tune into pre-recorded webinars from the CFPC, available on the Attorney-General's Department YouTube channel.

Fraud isn’t just about money. It includes any deliberate deception to facilitate or conceal the misappropriation of tangible or intangible assets. Fraud costs billions of dollars to Governments, individuals, and companies every year. It is never a victimless crime.
