thumb Local Authority Investigation Officers Group (LAIOG) is a British organisation involving Local Authority investigators. When it was created, it focused primarily on those involved in the investigation of Housing and Council Tax Benefit fraud. This is no longer the case, with LAIOG members now having a remit that includes all areas of investigation in Local Government. LAIOG is recognised as a representative group in providing information and statistics to, for example, the UK parliament.〔( Hansard 11 March 2008 ) Website accessed 27 May 2008〕 The organisation is considered of sufficient importance to be mentioned by name in the fraud prevention policies of many Local Authorities〔(North Warwickshire BC Policy ) Website accessed 27 May 2008〕 and Department for Work and Pensions newsletters.〔( HB Direct - May 2007 ) Website accessed 27 May 2008〕 Although referred to under Fraud Squad in this encyclopaedia as an investigation unit, this is not strictly the case, although members do liaise during investigations. ==Composition== There are a number of regional groups and a national 'umbrella' organisation. The official regional groups, that is those represented on the executive committee〔(LAIOG Executive ) Website accessed 24 May 2008〕 are : *Northern *Midlands *Wales (Welsh Benefits Investigation Group) WBIG *Eastern *LBFIG (London Boroughs' Fraud Investigators' Group) *Southern *South-Western Other groups also meet, such as Northern Home Counties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Local Authority Investigation Officers Group」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
