The 2023 UK Government Fraud Strategy indicated that fraud poses a significant threat to the people, prosperity and security of the UK. It is by far the most common crime and now accounts for over 40% of all offences in England and Wales. Ghana, India and Nigeria have been identified as key jurisdictions of risk for fraud that targets the UK.
Commissioned by the UK Home Office, this research investigated the dynamics of fraud in these three countries and assessed the current response, to identify where the UK can be more active in preventing and tackling fraud.
