Pay onlineCentre for fraud and financial crime
Detective Chief Superintendent Steve Wilmott, Head of the Economic Crime Department of the City of London Police welcomes the centre.
As fraud becomes a major concern for investigators because of its links to organised crime and even terrorism, we have created the Centre for Fraud and Financial Crime to work with law enforcement agencies and the private sector to help combat this growing threat.
It builds on the success of our fraud management and financial crime courses, the increasing demand for academic qualifications, assurance and in-depth research and is part of our portfolio of eemployer engagement.
Fact: financial crime costs the country around £20bn a year.
The Centre encourages research and consultancy links alongside teaching. We are also developing an international presence together with our partner universities in Malaysia and Singapore.
Centre aims
- provide single contact point for commercial and educational courses in fraud and financial crime
- draw upon the expertise of Teesside University Business School, the wider University and other partners to deliver high-quality educational courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels
- accredit programmes delivered by selected partners in the UK and overseas
- develop applied research in the areas of fraud and financial crime based around the interests and expertise of members and associates
- develop competence in these areas to encourage sustainability
- develop a consultancy capability with partners in the public and private sectors.

'We chose to work with Teesside because it is an innovative University and a centre of excellence for knowledge transfer.'
Teaching is through modern educational tools and approaches such as e-learning. We use modular teaching, supported learning and workforce mentors, to reduce significantly the amount of time employees spend away from the workplace undertaking personal and professional development but avoiding the isolation of distance learning.
Our rigorous internal and external assessment procedures ensure the maintenance of the high standards of our educational programmes for which we are internationally known.
