The National Fraud Authority is an Executive Agency of the Attorney General's Office (United Kingdom)[1] responsible for increasing protection for victims and the UK economy from the harm caused by fraud.[2] Formerly the National Fraud Strategic Authority,[3] it was set up in October 2008 in response to the government's Fraud Review in 2006. The current Chief Executive is Dr Bernard Herdan CB.[1]
The NFA currently undertakes a number of roles including: acting as a clearing house for fraud information; providing threat assessments to the fraud community as a whole, especially to its Ministerial group, and facilitating and co-ordinating activities with a wide range of public, private and business stakeholders.
