Scottish Financial Crime Group
The Scottish Financial Crime Group (SFCG) is led by the Association of Chief Police Officers Scotland (ACPOS) and directs its attention to the co-ordinated prevention, reduction, detection and prosecution of crime directed at the finance industry. Its members, which are made up of the banking, business, security and law enforcement sectors, exchange views, share information and best practice on tackling financial crime, in addition to identifing opportunities for effective co-operation.
The Group also raises awareness of
the potential for, and the existence and extent of, criminal
attacks on, and threats to, the world of finance. Publicity
campaigns, seminars and conferences play a part in this together
with joint training for the business, law enforcement agencies and
financial institutions.
New trends and developments in
financial crime are identified and prevention, detection and
prosecution initiatives are assessed and circulated to members.
Other aspects of the SFCG's work
include achieving safe and secure working environments for
employees and the protection of member organisations' assets. The
Group has three sub-groups covering e-crime, Fraud and Physical
Security.
The Scottish Financial Crime Group
is administered by the Scottish Business Crime Centre.
