Statements & Reports
Previously in part 12 of this email campaign we looked at some issues that you might consider when investigating a suspected fraud. In this issue we look at some things to consider when completing two formal documents that you might be required to complete in order for legal action to be taken.
When you Might Complete a Witness Statements
Once fraud has been detected you may decide to take formal action which could involve you taking a person to court yourself (a civil law action) and/or you may call in the police who decide to investigate and take the perpetrator(s) to court (criminal law action). In either case anyone who has relevant information relating to the fraud which is of evidential value could be asked to make a witness statement.
