New report: Tackling Fraud in the Public Sector in 2026

That’s why we’re pleased to launch our latest report, Tackling Fraud in the Public Sector, authored by Laura Eshelby, Head of Economic Crime at Clue Software.

The report provides a timely and practical examination of the current counter‑fraud environment, exploring the scale of fraud across the public sector and the emerging threats leaders must prepare for — from cyber‑enabled and organised crime to increasingly sophisticated cross‑border activity. It also looks ahead, offering insight into what effective counter‑fraud strategies need to look like from 2026 onwards.

Inside the report, readers will find:

• An overview of the evolving threat landscape facing the public sector
• Key strategic priorities aligned to government counter‑fraud frameworks
• Practical guidance on building capability, embedding prevention, and harnessing data and technology
• Clear signposts to help organisations strengthen their response and reduce harm

Above all, the report is designed to support those on the front line of counter fraud – providing insight, clarity and direction at a time when the challenge has never been greater.

Whether you’re responsible for strategy, operations, risk, investigation or governance, Tackling Fraud in the Public Sector offers valuable perspectives to help safeguard public services and public trust.
