As Small Charities Week focuses attention on the excellent work of small charities, CFG launches its Counter Fraud Campaign and has produced a free guide and checklist for you to protect your charity and it's assets from fraud.

The Small Charities Guide to Preventing Fraud will help small charities to outline the steps you need to take to protect yourselves against fraud, highlight what tell-tale signs to look out for, know what to do once you have detected fraud and where to report the fraud to. 

To compliment The Small Charities Guide to Preventing Fraud, CFG has also produced a Counter Fraud Checklist. This checklist is designed to help charities to establish or strengthen their counter-fraud policy. The checklist asks ten essential questions that all charities should be thinking about when working to tackle fraud.

They are looking for supporters to join their supporters group. On the supporters group, they will post what they are looking for support with, so you can choose what you want to support.
