Fraud not on the agenda white paper

White Paper

Fraud NOT on the agenda:

Housing sector fraud risk

Fraud in affordable housing: is it genuinely not on the agenda, or do we just need to do more to recognise the potential impact and reduce the risk?

All housing associations state that they take fraud seriously. That being said, low positioning on risk registers and limited investment in counter-fraud activity – in part driven by a severe lack of statistical evidence reinforced by nil returns – contributes to confirmation bias and the sector-wide underestimation of risk especially when compared with other sectors.

It’s been a year since Arun Chauhan from Tenet and Paul Roberts from Newid Consulting produced their first whitepaper on this subject. Now, they have moved the conversation forward with a Housing Sector Fraud Risk Conference co-hosted by Forvis Mazars, an active voice on internal audits, forensic accounting and investigations.

In this whitepaper, we share the key insights from the conference. We’ll break down the themes presented by its many dynamic speakers into four areas – awareness, prevention, detection and recovery – and include learnings from the discussions that followed to help improve governance and risk management. Together, we seek to drive better practice in affordable housing: not relying on finding fraud by chance, treating it as a compliance issue like other sectors do and safeguarding the people, homes and reputations that are at greater risk than many realise due to ongoing fraud.
