National fraud initiative

On 30 September 2024, we will process personal data for the National Fraud Initiative to participate in a national data matching exercise that assists in the prevention and detection of fraud and other crimes. This information will be shared with Audit Scotland to allow a data matching exercise to be completed.

Data matching involves comparing computer records held by one body against other computer records held by the same or another body. Computerised data matching allows potential fraudulent claims and payments to be identified. 

We set out how we will use and share your personal information in our General privacy notice.

For further information on Audit Scotland’s legal powers and the reason why it matches particular information, see their full privacy notice, or contact us on 01698 452618.
