MOD has developed a Nominal Offence Value framework based on historic values of fraud experienced. The Nominal Offence Value is used when no valuation is available at the time of reporting. This approach has been reviewed and approved by the Cabinet Office Prevention Panel (an independent panel of cross Government experts).</p><p>The £88.2 million refers to 861 separately reported incidents. It includes cases with an estimated value based upon the MOD's Nominal Offence Value framework.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 07/01/2019 16:27:27 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
