Fraud

Fraud is behaviour that's deceptive, dishonest, corrupt or unethical. Common frauds include:

• Stealing someone’s identity

• Creating fake identities

• Credit and EFTPOS card fraud

• Cyber crime

Fraud can have a knock-on effect on many people. For example, a workplace fraud may result in lost revenue and property. It can damage the business’ credibility, compromise customer confidentiality and result in public criticism. This can make it hard for a business to continue to operate and meet its obligations to employees, customers, suppliers or contractors.
