Council fraud team saves £1.1m by clamping down on system abuse and benefits cheats
Swansea Council says the impressive figure highlights its efforts against those who misuse public funds, with the fraud team uncovering significant overpayments and fraudulent claims.
Almost £470,000 was identified in social housing overpayments, alongside a similar sum in housing and welfare benefits, according to the council’s latest report.
Cllr Rob Stewart, Leader of Swansea Council, stressed the vital importance of ensuring that the millions of pounds of public money spent on services every year reaches those who truly need it.
He issued a clear warning that the council would take firm action against fraud wherever it is found.
“Among local authorities in Wales our fraud team has helped lead the way in seeking out, detecting and acting in cases of fraud,” Cllr Stewart stated.
He believes the counter-fraud team’s proactive approach has established a strong deterrent effect on would-be fraudsters.
The council’s ongoing work to tackle fraud is detailed in the counter-fraud team’s half-yearly report, which is being presented to the Governance and Audit committee this week.
The report also noted a low number of internal fraud claims within the council itself.
Only nine cases of internal fraud were reported among a workforce exceeding 11,000 employees.
Four of these cases have already been concluded, with five remaining under active investigation.
Cllr Stewart acknowledged that fraud is a widespread issue in society, and councils, like other organisations, are targets.
He noted that both individuals and more organised criminal elements attempt to defraud public services.
“This half-year report shows Swansea Council is not a soft touch and we will challenge fraud wherever we find it, aiming to bring to justice those engaged in such practices,” Cllr Stewart declared.
The council’s robust efforts aim to ensure that every penny of the millions spent on services annually is protected for legitimate use.
Residents are encouraged to report any suspected fraudulent activity to the council.
