APRA has adopted the definition of fraud provided in the Commonwealth Fraud Control Policy which is defined as “dishonestly obtaining a benefit, or causing a loss, by deception or other means.” Fraud against the Commonwealth may include but is not limited to:
- theft;
- abuse of entitlements including expenses, leave, travel allowances or attendance records;
- misuse of corporate credit cards or information technology, mobile devices and telecommunication systems;
- accounting fraud (e.g. false invoices, misappropriation);
- unlawful use of, or unlawful obtaining of, property, equipment, material or services;
- causing a loss, or avoiding and/or creating a liability;
- providing false or misleading information to the Commonwealth, or failing to provide information when there is an obligation to do so;
- misuse of Commonwealth assets, equipment or facilities;
- making, or using, false, forged or falsified documents; and/or
- wrongfully using Commonwealth information or intellectual property.
Fraud requires intent. It requires more than carelessness, accident or error. When intent cannot be shown, an incident may be non-compliance rather than fraud. A benefit is not restricted to a material benefit, and may be tangible or intangible, including information.
