The UK Ministry of Defense has recovered less than half of its anti-fraud spending over the past four years, despite facing a potential annual fraud exposure of up to £1.5 billion. A National Audit Office report identified fragmented structures and a lack of trust between teams as major barriers to effective fraud management, with the MoD achieving only £0.48 in recovery for every £1 spent, falling short of the government's expected £3 return. The NAO recommends the establishment of a department-wide objective to better minimize fraud losses and enhance recovery efforts.
