CFS will provide an annual statement of competency to each health board. The health board can use this to show that they meet component 9 of the NHS Scotland Counter Fraud Standard.
The annual statement shows to what extent, CFS' counter fraud specialists are “appropriately trained”. It also declares that CFS has the knowledge and skills to “conduct the full range of counter fraud, bribery and corruption work on the board's behalf”.
