Responding to Fraudulent Grant Applications

Identifying fraudulent grant applications is rarely straightforward.

Join Yorkshire Funders for this interactive webinar to explore how funders can, and are, managing the risk of fraudulent applications in a thoughtful and proportionate way.

This session will cover:

• How to identify ‘red flags’ that can signify an application is fraudulent
• The steps you can take to explore your concerns
• How to balance the reality of fraudulent applications with being a trusting and supportive funder

You will hear from Thomas Waring, Head of Grants at Two Ridings, who will take us through their experience with fraudulent applications and how they navigated and responded to them.

This will be followed by a facilitated discussion exploring how each of you are noticing and responding to potential fraudulent applications, what systems are working well, and how your due diligence and fraud prevention processes remain adaptable and proportionate. The aim is to collectively strengthen funder knowledge and practice.

This webinar is designed for anyone assessing grants, as well as those people responsible for ensuring effective due diligence, including trustees.

This session is free for Yorkshire Funders’ members to attend (a £20 charge for non-members applies). Please register for this session via Ticket Tailor here to reserve your place.
