Crynodeb
The goal of the Covid 19 counter-fraud enforcement team is to minimise the government’s loss from fraud arising in that book – either through prosecution of businesses and individuals or by the threat of such action forming a deterrent to such fraudulent behaviour.
We do this by using analytics to identify potentially fraudulent BBLS transactions, triaging those to determine those where enforcement may be the appropriate mechanism, investigating using powers under POCA and PACE, and then passing files for prosecution to the CPS.
We are recruiting a Head of Counter-Fraud Operations to lead the delivery of the enforcement element of the counter-fraud strategy for the Covid debt schemes.
This role will work closely with the G6 Head of Covid Fraud Policy and the G6 Head of Programme Management, and we expect the postholder to work alongside them to create a leadership function for the wider Counter-Fraud team.
Management of the (originally) c. £46bn BBLS portfolio is a key priority for the department, with a particular focus on fraud in the BBLS scheme where significant amounts of public money are at stake. Our counter-fraud strategy aims to reduce loss to the taxpayer through working with lenders, law enforcement and data analytics experts.
This post is for an experienced counter fraud senior manager to head DBTs operational counter-fraud delivery.
As head of counter-fraud operations the post-holder will be responsible for overseeing both existing counter-fraud resourcing and delivery, as well as developing new enforcement delivery models, both in-house and with delivery partners.
This role will focus heavily on ensuring effective delivery of criminal and civil investigations which make up a key part of DBT’s response to COVID-19 fraud, both in house and through managed contracts with third parties. As such, detailed experience of leading fraud investigations (either law enforcement or in the public sector) is a key essential criteria, as is experience of working within a central government context. Effective contract management experience is also an important requirement for this role.
The key responsibilities will include:
- Operational leader for day-to day DBT counter fraud enforcement work
- Oversight of day-to-day management of the 3rd party contracts (and any successor arrangements)
- Lead the development of the business case for the future DBT operational enforcement model and lead the transition to the counter fraud enforcement model post March 25
- Provide expert guidance to Covid-19 Business Support oversight boards
- Responsible for the design and delivery of the counter fraud enforcement deliverables, and creation of key performance measures and associated KPIs.
- Direct and assure the lawful utilisation of POCA, PACE and other enforcement powers (civil and criminal), ensuring all legal, operational and reporting requirements are adhered to.
- Build effective external partnerships and collaborate with other government departments and public bodies, and wider UK law enforcement, and lead the relationship with key stakeholders involved in the COVID-19 response including the Public Sector Fraud Authority, Counter Fraud Expert Service and the Insolvency Service.
