Fraud is one of the biggest risks companies face. According to the Fraud Advisory Panel, it costs businesses £13bn a year. In some cases significant amounts are involved, large enough to threaten the long term financial viability of a business.

Whilst businesses go to great lengths to minimise the threat of corporate crime through implementing strict controls and safeguards within the working environment loss can still occur. With this growing threat, additional insurance protection is now essential to protect against losses that can and do pose serious threats to a company's balance sheet.

CrimeGuard provides protection against fraud, dishonesty, theft and third party forgery. There are eight optional sections of coverage designed to protect businesses against both the internal and external threats of fraud. A particular feature is that cover is not subject to a warranted system of check. Where internal controls are in place and a loss is sustained through an inadvertent breach of control, in most circumstances it is likely that the claims will be met in full.
