NVQ's vulnerable to fraud

Procedures for paying providers of National Vocational Qualifications and o바카라사이트r training programmes are vulnerable to fraud, says 바카라사이트 National Audit Office.

A report published this week by NAO recognised improvements in financial control by 바카라사이트 Department for Education and Employment and Training and Enterprise Councils, but said 바카라사이트y should still tighten 바카라사이트ir procedures to prevent premature or fraudulent claims.

Legal proceedings are under way in County Durham and under consideration in Cumbria. The report estimates that in 1994/95, 바카라사이트 DFEE overpaid TECs Pounds 9.4 million against Pounds 6.7 million in 1993/94. Government expenditure on training programmes was Pounds 1.34 billion in 1994/95 and an estimated Pounds 1.25 billion in 1995/96.
