KPMG offers us the Profile of a fraudster based on 360 cases of financial fraud in companies.

70% of fraudsters were 36-55 years old.

85% were male.

68% acted independently.

89% were employees ie insiders

I guess we can assume the people likeliest to leak our personal details from the IPS’s Identity register would fit a similar profile. KPMG’s research suggests we need to protect our whistleblowers, as they’re the most successful route for revealing fraudsters. So more strength to the arm of that little-known NGO Public Concern at Work.
