Fraud and Anti-Bribery Training
Havering Council's Audit Committee is addressing low staff completion rates for mandatory fraud and anti-bribery training.
Havering Council's Audit Committee expressed strong dissatisfaction in October 2026 with low completion rates for mandatory fraud and anti-bribery training across council directorates. The committee highlighted the People directorate, where a significant majority of employees had not completed the essential course, and is demanding immediate action to achieve a 0% overdue training rate within six months.
Councillor Luke Barry, Chair of the committee, described the figures as "absolutely not acceptable" in October 2026. He stressed that understanding fraud reporting procedures is a responsibility for all council staff, not just those in finance. No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
