Teams at Carmarthenshire Council have various counter-fraud roles.
(ROBERT HARRIES)
UNPAID council tax, fraud by a builder and misappropriation of school funds by a teacher were all rumbled by council teams in Carmarthenshire, a meeting heard.
The authority's revenues and financial compliance service deals with fraud and corruption referrals, while its consumer and business affairs service tackles fraud arising from inappropriate trading.
