Anti-money laundering training news 15/07/09 NEFF advises NFA on fraud and money laundering

The North East Fraud Forum (NEFF), a Newcastle-based group offering anti-fraud and anti-money laundering training and information, has been selected as a model to be presented to the Government later this year.

This week, the National Fraud Authority (NFA) met with NEFF with the intent to adopt and develop the Newcastle groups projects and research for a proposed national programme. Chairman Alan Brown said, The fact that the NFA has chosen to visit the North East, among only a small handful of regions, speaks volumes about the work that we have carried out and we look forward to working alongside it to convert some of our ideas into real solutions.

NEFF, set up in 2003, aims to raise awareness of criminal activity, including counterfeiting, cyber-crime and money laundering offences, and is supported by the police forces in Northumbria, Cleveland and Durham. It claims its region of the UK is five years ahead of the rest of the country in combating financial crime and identifying the proceeds of crime as a result of its programme of anti-money laundering training and education regarding fraud.
