Failure to Prevent Fraud

Common FAQs

We have identified we need to train external contacts we consider to be Associated Persons, what is an effective way to do this?

The FTPF package includes micro-learning that is ideal for short engaging training for external contacts.  You'll nee to make sure your LMS supports external assignments, or speak to us about Skillcast managing these assignments for you.

We would usually send out the same Fraud course to all staff, why does Skillcast offer Managers versions of the courses?

The new FTPF offence includes new responsibilities and new penalties for Managers in firms where internal fraud is not prevented.  It's really important to ensure Managers are aware of this, Manager versions of our courses really focus on this and what managers can do to mitigate this risk.

How can I make sure every employee has read and agreed to our anti-fraud and conduct policies?

Our Policy management ensures employees review and acknowledge key anti-fraud and conduct policies, creating a clear audit trail for regulators. You can manage policy updates, track completions, and demonstrate compliance—all from one place.

How can I measure my employees’ awareness of fraud risks and identify gaps in understanding?

Our Fraud Prevention Staff Survey helps you gauge staff awareness of fraud risks and pinpoint areas that need attention before issues arise. You can run periodic surveys to monitor culture, track improvements over time, and target further training.

How can I give employees a secure way to record suspicious activity so we can act quickly?

Our Suspicious Activity Register allows staff to log concerns or irregularities they observe, helping you detect potential issues early. The secure register can be reviewed by compliance teams, enabling prompt investigation and action.

How can I provide employees with a safe and anonymous way to report suspected fraud?

Our Whistleblowing Register gives employees a confidential channel to report potential fraud without fear of retaliation. This demonstrates to regulators that you take whistleblower protections seriously and encourages a culture of transparency.

How can I evidence anti-fraud measures that happen outside of e-learning?

Our Offline Activity Register captures anti-fraud initiatives that take place beyond the LMS—such as manager briefings, toolbox talks, and verbal training. This ensures you can evidence all preventative measures, not just online learning.

Are Skillcast courses SCORM-compliant?

Yes. This means they can be delivered via the Skillcast Portal or any other SCORM-compliant Learning Management System.

What other tools are needed beyond training?

A comprehensive compliance solution often needs more than just training. Alongside e-learning, tools like declarations, surveys, and registers that track compliance tasks are usually essential. Skillcast provides full support to help you set up these additional tools.

Is our training content still compliant with the latest legislation?

  • You can check the latest course content updates in our library updates page: https://www.skillcast.com/compliance-course-library-updates
  • For major legislative changes, we:
    • Will send you email alerts to ensure you are notified
    • Offer you a free trial of newly created or updated content
    • Host webinars with compliance experts to explain the changes and how our training supports your ongoing compliance

Can you translate our content into other languages?

Yes, we offer translations in a wide range of languages. Let us know your needs, and we’ll confirm availability or work with you to plan translations for your selected modules.

How can I give employees a secure way to record suspicious activity so we can act quickly?
