<p>HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) approach to Child Benefit error and fraud is to
verify all new claims and, on a risk basis, to check existing claims for incorrect
information against data from other systems. Where HMRC consider that a claim may
not be correct, they open an enquiry. Where the enquiry determines that the claim
is incorrect, the claim or part of the claim is terminated.</p><p> </p><p>Child Benefit
compliance enquires are carried out continually throughout the year and as at 31 March
2014, HMRC had 3565 ongoing cases.</p><p> </p>
