The National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) was established in 2010 as part of a new approach to tackling fraud as recommended by the National Fraud Review 2006 which had been commissioned by the Government to assess the impact and scale of fraudulent activity across the UK. Recommendations from the review resulted in a new three pronged approach to tackling fraud with the formation of: the National Fraud Authority (NFA), an umbrella government organisation to co-ordinate and oversee the fight against fraud; the National Fraud Reporting Centre; and the NFIB. The NFIB was developed and is overseen by the City of London Police as part of its role as the National Lead Force for fraud, and is funded by the Home Office.
