Annual Reports
CIPD: In 2011, Members of CIFAS recorded a 14.5% increase in cases of staff fraud when compared with 2010. This type of fraud can damage businesses reputation, brand & staff morale – as well as losing thousands of pounds.
Employers must be on their guard when vetting prospective employees - ensuring that appropriate controls & a zero tolerance culture exists within their organisations so that staff fraud cannot prosper.

MoD: The Chief Inspector of Prisons has heaped praise on the Military Corrective Training Centre (MCTC) in Colchester in his recent report published. Inspectors were pleased to find that:
* detainees were kept busy with plenty of activity
* literacy & numeracy provision were outstanding and detainees developed good employability skills
* preparation for return to civilian life for those detainees who were to be discharged was very good, with help with debt, accommodation and finding a job on release.
