How much is fraud costing your organisation every year?
Meritec has an unrivalled track record of designing and delivering cost effective digital learning solutions to the public and private sectors. Focus on Fraud Awareness enables organisations to reduce losses from fraud, improve their use of resources and protect against a damaged reputation. Meritec has developed separate versions of the product to meet the specific needs of local authorities, schools and colleges, housing associations and the private sector.
Focus on Fraud Awareness
The latest version of the Meritec Digital Learning course contains up-to-date information on how fraud (in all its guises) can negatively impact on an organisation’s performance, finances and reputation. The course delivers a broad and consistent level of understanding of fraud in just 45 minutes.
Fraud Awareness
Increasing awareness increases your protection
The course, which was developed in conjunction with local councils, has been subsequently successfully rolled out to all staff within a number of different local authorities, as well as across catchment schools within some areas. Several industry-specific versions of the course have been created including a version specifically for the Social Housing sector.

“Meritecs Fraud Awareness digital learning package has proved to be very well received by the staff and members at Wealden District Council. We are looking now to see an increase in fraud referrals and challenges within the more vulnerable areas of the council. I highly recommend Meritec and the support they provided in the delivery of this package.”
John Stalley ACFS, CFRM, Investigations Manager: Wealden District Council
“Focus on Fraud Awareness for Schools has helped us provide greater awareness of how to detect and prevent fraud or corruption to those working within a School environment. Feedback from Schools has been overwhelming with positive comments including ‘very clear, well laid out course’ and ‘very useful for all school staff and headteachers and governors too’. Participants found the learning provided a good level of detail on the warning signs of fraud and supporting internal controls. The case studies were found to be useful and relevant to the environment with the exercises helping to check and confirm understanding.”
