The Ministry of Defence has an active lessons-learned programme in response to detected fraud which allows business areas and policy owners to undertake process and policy change to mitigate further loss. No changes in working practices or policy have been identified yet as a result of participation in the National Fraud Initiative 2022/23. The data provided is currently being validated by the Department and any irregularities identified will be investigated where policy or process weakness is identified this will be addressed through the established lessons learned process.
