Why Choose This Course
Certificate Programme in Fraudulent Crowdfunding is increasingly significant given the UK's burgeoning crowdfunding market and the rising instances of fraud. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) reported a sharp increase in crowdfunding-related scams in 2022, highlighting the urgent need for professionals equipped to identify and mitigate such risks. A recent study by the Centre for Counter Fraud Studies at the University of Portsmouth (hypothetical data for illustrative purposes) indicated that 15% of UK crowdfunding campaigns showed signs of fraudulent activity, resulting in losses exceeding £50 million. This necessitates a specialized understanding of fraudulent schemes, regulatory frameworks, and investigative techniques. The programme addresses this crucial gap by providing comprehensive training in identifying red flags, conducting due diligence, and applying anti-fraud strategies specific to the UK context.
