Fraud and corruption in the construction sector
UK construction sector is ‘abuilding site’ for fraud and corruption
Our latest report shows just how significant an impact fraud is having on profitability and public trust in infrastructure projects. The report, in conjunction with the Centre for Counter Fraud Studies at the University of Portsmouth, shows that construction has a corruption problem on a scale that outstrips many other sectors.
We have examined the unique structural and cultural factors that make fraud and corruption in construction a particularly high risk. Using real examples from past projects in the UK and comparable projects abroad, we are able to uncover the extent of fraud losses and assess and recommend potential routes forward for private and public projects to better safeguard construction expenditure.
