Payroll fraud, like all online fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated.

With new legislation release in the UK every few months, and the constant changes to payroll, there are dozens of opportunities for fraud.

Payroll fraud can result in unauthorised access to employee details and salaries and it can therefore be particularly damaging.

Businesses need to be alert in order to undertake sufficient due diligence to prevent the business becoming a victim of unscrupulous individuals or organised crime units. 

If you suspect that an email that looks like it has come from Shaw Gibbs is fraudulent or, you believe your systems have been compromised. Please contact our Payroll on 01865 292200.
