Guidance for reporting fraud within Fire and Emergency NZ

This item has been updated wiht the current National Managers details: May 2022

Every two years Fire and Emergency NZ conducts a survey to ascertain our people’s awareness of the Fraud Policy and what to do to prevent or detect fraud. 

The latest survey found that 78% of respondents indicated they knew the Fraud; Standards of Conduct and Conflicts of Interest, Gifts, Prizes and Hospitality policies. However, when it came to reporting fraud, our people were significantly unaware that Fire and Emergency NZ has a telephone number and email address they can use to report suspected fraud.

Leaders are asked to advise personnel that the Fraud Policy is now on the Portal. And that anyone with concerns about fraud within the organisation can call 027 317 7805 or email fraudhotline@fireandemergency.nz. The privacy of the complainant will be protected.

Full results of the fraud survey can be found here [PDF, 80 KB].
