Our Background:

The Fraud, Error Debt and Grants (FEDG) Group is a growing group of experts based in the Cabinet Office. It consists of the central hubs for three Government Functions - Counter Fraud, Debt Management and Grants Management. They lead the three functions in these areas, under the wider functional model for government.

The Centre of Expertise for Counter Fraud (CoEx), which forms the central hub of the Government’s Counter Fraud Function, is internationally recognised as a world leader in tackling fraud and corruption in the public sector. Working with us, you will be placed at the forefront of shaping policy that will have an impact across the breadth of the public sector.

Right now, fraud represents a cost to the government which is estimated at £29.3bn-£52bn per year. This is likely to grow even further due to the additional Covid-19 spend and increasingly sophisticated frauds. At CoEx, we play an instrumental role in spearheading the Government's response to fraud by developing innovative policies and initiatives to counter this threat with the mission of funneling real, tangible financial benefits back to the public.

In pursuing this goal, we utilise a network that spans across public and private sectors. Serving as the foremost experts in public sector fraud, CoEx affords those who work with us unrivaled access to Ministers in an area that is rapidly rising to the forefront of the Government’s agenda. With an ever-expanding remit in an arena of growing ministerial priority, now is a truly exciting time to join a team that has an impact throughout the machinery of government.
