Answer
Data on detected and prevented fraud and error, and trends in recoveries in the public sector are published annually by the Cabinet Office Government Counter Fraud Function (GCFF). The Cross-Government Fraud Landscape Bulletin is available on GOV.UK.
The outcomes of investigations into fraud, scams and economic crime are not centrally collated. Investigations are conducted by the appropriate Department with responsibility for policy delivery.
Investigations and enforcement activities are also undertaken by regulatory or enforcement agencies, such as the Financial Conduct Authority and National Crime Agency.
