Fraud in the private sector, and in
particular the insurance industry,
continues to increase with the ABI
estimating that it adds an extra £50
to the annual insurance bill of every
UK policyholder.
In 2011, insurers uncovered 139,000
dishonest claims worth nearly £1bn
across all products.
AGS Fraud
“
Undetected fraudulent claims are
estimated to total £2.1bn a year
AGS Fraud’s investigations are deployed using the National
Intelligence Model (NIM), a framework providing strategic and
tactical direction to support informed decision-making.
The value and benefit of the NIM is in protecting innocent
policyholders, while dismissing the preconception that fraud can
be victimless. Further, the NIM supports the ongoing fight against
serious organised crime and promotes the wellbeing of our
economy.
