Corporate Governance Framework
Our corporate governance framework sets out the necessary responsibilities and procedures that guarantee we operate properly.

23.1 The Gambling Commission (the Commission) must adopt and implement policies and practices to safeguard itself against fraud and theft.
23.2 The Commission must act in line with guidance as issued by the Counter Fraud Function and in compliance with the procedures and considerations as set in Managing Public Money Annex 4.9 and the Counter Fraud Functional Standard (opens in a new tab). It must also take all reasonable steps to appraise the financial standing of any firm or other body with which it intends to enter a contract or to provide grant or grant-in-aid.
23.3 The Commission must keep records of and prepare and forward to the department an annual report on fraud and theft suffered by the Commission and notify the sponsor department of any unusual or major incidents as soon as possible. The Commission must also report detected loss from fraud, bribery, corruption and error, alongside associated recoveries and prevented losses, to the counter fraud centre of expertise in line with the agreed government definitions as set out in Counter Fraud Functional Standard.
