HMRC
HMRC s Fraud Investigation Service (FIS) is responsible for the department s civil and criminal investigations. FIS ensures that HMRC has an effective approach to tackling the most serious tax evasion and fraud. FIS is home to a wide range of people with a variety of skills and professional backgrounds including accountants, cybercrime specialists, criminal justice professionals, tax professionals and operational delivery support teams to name but a few. We use a range of powers and approaches to protect funding for UK public services, investigating the most harmful tax cheats and ensuring nobody is beyond our reach.
The Economic Crime (EC) deputy directorate forms an integral part of the HMRC Serious Fraud Strategy. Working closely across the department and the wider Law Enforcement community, using specialist expertise and modern technology we put illicit finance at the centre of operations. Our teams tackle the financial aspects of cases that will ultimately deter, disrupt and remove assets from tax fraudsters.
Economic crime undermines the integrity and stability of the global economy, denies funding to critical public services and destroys lives. Criminals often seek to use legitimate channels to launder the proceeds of crime, directly enabling the trafficking of people and drugs, illegal sale of arms and the funding of terrorism.
While traditional money laundering methods are still favoured by criminals, technology is transforming the financial services landscape. With the growth of the digital economy, money launderers are looking to exploit these new technologies due to their increasing prominence, their relative ease of use, and most importantly the consistent lack of transparency.
Depending on individual circumstances and the requirements of the role, we may be able to make reasonable workplace adjustments such as flexible working, adjusting breaks and time to complete tasks, providing alternative office equipment, software etc. A successful applicant would be able to discuss this with their manager.
