Objectives of the Vote
The work under Vote Serious Fraud contributes to the Government's priority of building a stronger economy, based on enduring growth, through its activities to reduce the occurrence, impact and harm of serious financial crime. The Vote ensures that there are systems and capability in place to detect, investigate and prosecute serious and complex financial crimes within New Zealand and instances of corruption and bribery, in particular of public officials. This is achieved through investigations and prosecutions, contribution to policy development and a programme of prevention, awareness and education. These activities impact on the wider economic and justice outcomes by contributing to a confident business environment that is largely free of serious financial crime and a just society that is largely free of fraud, corruption and bribery.
