Christopher Freeman, Institute of Counter Fraud Specialists, Executive Member

Christopher has now been in local authority fraud prevention and investigation for over ten years. In 2006 he was appointed to his current role as Fraud Manager, making him one of the youngest people in the UK to ever have held such a position within local government at just 24.

He sees ongoing professional development as key to progression and after completing the Professionalism in Security (PINS) standard and management-level qualifications Christopher has gone on to become an accredited financial investigator (and confiscator), earn a BTEC professional diploma in Financial Investigation and is currently studying for a Masters Degree in Fraud Management.

Alongside his normal duties Christopher is the Chairman for the Local Authority Investigation Officers' Group (LAIOG) for the East of England, having held the position since 2008 and has been a member of the LAIOG National Executive Committee since 2010. He is a member of the Institute of Counter Fraud Specialists and was elected to the Executive Committee in May 2011.

Christopher is also a freelance trainer, currently delivering online and classroom-based training for the Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuations (IRRV).
