By Erin Sims, Associate Director, RSM UK Fraud is now the most frequently reported crime in the UK, representing 41% of offences reported to police. Adding to the challenge, only around 1% of fraud cases result in prosecution. UK Finance reported in its annual fraud report that £1.2bn was stolen through fraud in 2022 and separate figures obtained by RSM UK under a freedom of information request show a 10% rise in reported cases of fraud committed by employees against their employers.
