Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre fraud reporting

Reporting System Dataset
The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC)'s fraud and identity crime reports are contained within their Fraud Reporting System database. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre Fraud Reporting System Dataset on the Open Government Portal provides this reporting data in addition to the description and associated definitions of Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre Statistics.
The data is acquired from total public reports. Online reports are created by the public entering information to populate their individual reports. The accuracy of a fraud report is largely dependent on the individual submitting the information. Individuals submitting reports can choose to include as much or as little information as they deem necessary. Nonetheless, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre intake analysts review all submitted reports to determine accuracy of submitted information.
Annual reports
Annual overviews of fraud in Canada and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre's activities (CAFC) can be viewed in the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre's Annual Reports - Open Government Portal (canada.ca). The reports provide a statistical review of fraud reporting to the CAFC, highlighting significant trends in fraud and identity crimes and the CAFC's ongoing efforts and response to the dynamic fraud threat environment.
