Tracey Carpenter is insider threat manager at Cifas (www.cifas.org.uk), a not-for-profit fraud prevention membership organisation that manages the largest database of instances of fraudulent conduct in the UK.

Historic shifts in working patterns have taken place since the first lockdowns of 2020.

Tracey Carpenter of Cifas discusses behaviours to look out for that could alert employers to possible internal fraud or misconduct.
