New guidance launched for charities on spotting and preventing fraud and cybercrime.
More than 600 cybercrime and fraud cases were reported to the Charity Commission in the last year.
Between November 2023 and October 2024, the Commission opened 603 cases relating to fraud and a further 99 cases relating to cyber crime issues.
This has led the Commission to launch new guidance, and a separate shorter guide on fraud. Developed with the support of the National Cyber Security Centre and their Small Charity Guide. It links to several free online training modules designed for charities of all sizes.
