    Fraud Act: Legal Guidance: The Crown Prosecution Service

    The Fraud Act 2006 (the Act) comes into force on the 15 January 2007. It is based on the recommendations of the Law Commission report “Fraud” (Note:Law Com No 276 Cm 5560 2002) published in 2002. The Act applies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

    The Act repeals all the deception offences in the Theft Acts of 1968 and 1978 and replaces them with a single offence of fraud (Section 1) which can be committed in three different ways by:

    * false representation (Section 2);
    * failure to disclose information when there is a legal duty to do so (Section 3);
    * abuse of position (Section

    Annual Audit Letter

    My assessment of how you manage resources has been adversely affected
    primarily by shortcomings in treasury management and the delivery of the capital
    programme.
    • Failings in treasury management highlighted by investments in Icelandic
    banks led to a Public Interest Report that highlighted serious deficiencies in
    your internal control arrangements. My use of resources work identified
    concerns about the way your finances have been managed.
    • There was a lack of realism in your approved capital programme which again
    had to be subject of significant re-profiling early in the year and yet was

    Audit commision

    I contacted your officers ( See enc ) on many occasions trying to understand these things. As you can see, I first brought it to the attention of my council.
    My question,
    1 Whos fault is it that this kept accruing after I pointed it out.
    1.1 Our council inner unelected ( monitoring officer, leader, 151 officer + minions )
    1.2 District Auditor
    1.3 The poor people of north east Lincolnshire
    1.4 The councils ward councillors
    1.5 someone else
    Who’s fault that this was started .
    1.1 The legal team and inner executive ( 2003-2004 )
    1.2 The legal team and inner executive ( 2003-2004 )
    1.3 The legal team and inner executive ( 2003-2004 )
    1.4 The Audit commission
    1.5 Someone else
    1.6 The people of north east Lincolnshire.
    What mechanisms stopped this being sorted out when I first pointed it out
    1.1 Your legal constraint/ contractual obligations/ legislation
    1.2 The interface between my councils figures and you ( Monitoring officer , 151 officer )
    1.3 Incorrect figures presented to you.
    1.4 Something else
    Who was responsible in our council for loosing our money on various projects but lets start with the
    iclandinc banks. ( could draw line from the bass leisure debarkel ( looses 200,000 to the Icelandic
    debarkel 7million )
    Is it.
    1. Monitoring officer and head of legal, section 151 officer, elected leader ( As it suggests in our
    council constitution. ) ( as am sure you understand we have a special executive arraignments
    ( special needs if you ask me )) ( check out there relationships to the scrutiny comity and audit
    commity )
    2. Your fault, or the auditor in line management
    3. Our fault, the public,
