The adverse impact of financial fraud, not only on individuals and the commercial sector but even on national economic systems, is increasing rapidly worldwide.

Left unchecked, fraud could lead to the financial ruin of people and commercial enterprises as well as seriously damage economic systems.

The Financial Crime unit of INTERPOL has taken up the challenge of fighting this global scourge within the framework of a project designed to combat significant fraud phenomena.

The project is designed around the concept of a Coordination role for INTERPOL in providing assistance to investigations on international and regional levels as well as strategic support to the Law Enforcement community.

The project also seeks to inform the public about the risks of fraud and different prevention methods in close co-operation with the commercial sector by employing suitable tools and platforms.
