<p>HMRC, and the Government more generally, take the risk of fraud arising from the
use of COVID-19 support schemes very seriously. Accordingly the Government has established
a ministerial board, chaired jointly by ministers from the Cabinet Office and Home
Office. This board has set direction on the fraud response, with work coordinated
by the Government's Counter-Fraud Function. COVID-19 schemes have been assessed for
fraud risk and appropriate controls have been designed and implemented. Departments
are working together to share intelligence, and to identify and investigate cases
of suspected fraud.</p>
