Joint Fraud Taskforce Management Board

The Joint Fraud Taskforce was set up by the Home Secretary in February 2016.

Objectives

The taskforce will:

  • protect the public and businesses from financial fraud
  • reduce the effects of fraud on victims
  • increase prosecution of fraudsters

The taskforce has 5 main areas of work led by representatives from the banks, police or Home Office. Each reports into the management board which meets around every 6 weeks.

Membership

The Management Board sets the priorities for the Joint Fraud Taskforce to check the progress in each of the 5 areas of work and to help the teams meet their objectives.
