What is fraud?
Fraud is dishonestly obtaining a benefit, or causing a loss, by deception or other means. The definition includes both tangible and intangible benefits. Examples of fraud could include:
- falsification of documentation relating to grant applications and acquittals
- collusion among tenderers and falsification of quotes submitted in tender processes
- falsifying qualifications to gain employment or a promotion with Australian Sports Commission
- providing confidential information to an existing or potential service provider in return for a personal gain
- failing to declare a conflict of interest which influences a decision that results in personal gain or benefits an external party.
