Visionary Counter-Fraud

Visionary Network

Visionary Counter-Fraud is designed for the busy fraud investigator. New frauds develop very quickly making it difficult for the investigator to stay up-to-date with new techniques and types of scam.

In addition a day out of the office to attend Guidance may not be possible due to a lack of specialised cover and restricted Guidance budgets.

Visionary Counter-Fraud Network will be a cost-effective method of keeping fraud investigations on top of the game, at a fraction of the cost of traditional Guidance and without the need to travel beyond the office.

 

Each month there will be an in-depth seminar (With the exception of April and August) will be hosted on an issue of importance to local authority counter-fraud professionals. Each seminar will last approximately one hour and can be attended by any nominee of a subscribing authority.

There will also be a fraud briefing session bring to your attention cases of interest, new legisaltion and various schemes
