It is important to report all allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption to CFS as soon as possible.
CFS records each allegation in NHS Scotland fraud case management system. This system stores all investigation material and outcomes.
CFS will work with the health board to review all outcomes. This helps to develop an understanding of local and national high-risk areas of fraud, bribery and corruption.
