Fraud and non-compliance

What is fraud?

Fraud involves dishonestly obtaining a benefit, or causing a loss, by deception or other means. Fraud requires intent. It requires more than carelessness, accident, or error. When intent cannot be shown, an incident may be non-compliance rather than fraud. Examples of fraud include:

  • accounting fraud (e.g., false invoices, misappropriation)
  • misuse of Commonwealth assets, equipment, or facilities, and
  • making, or using, false, forged, or falsified documents.
