</p><p>The way in which fraud offences are reported and subsequently recorded has
changed in recent years. Previously, police forces were responsible for recording
fraud offences, however, from April 2011 Action Fraud began gradually taking over
the recording of fraud offences on behalf of individual police forces, completing
in March 2013. Action Fraud is the UK’s national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre.
The industry bodies Cifas and FFA UK also record data on fraud offences committed
against their members.</p><p> </p><p>Information on fraud offences prior to the switch
to Action Fraud can be found in Table A4 in the same link as provided above.</p>
