College Employees & Trade Creditors (Suppliers of Goods & Services)
From January 2019, the college is being asked by Audit Scotland to participate in the National Fraud Initiative (NFI). This involves the sharing of our employees personal data and that of our trade creditors (suppliers of goods and services).
We will share our staff payroll data and details of payments made to all of our trade creditors via a secure government portal.
A Government body (the Cabinet Office) then compares our data to that of other publicly funded and some private sector organisations. Any data matches identified are investigated to verify that all payments made are legitimate.
The purpose of the exercise is to combat fraud where public money is concerned. The legal basis for sharing/processing the data is “processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller” Article 6 1(e) of the Data Protection Act 2018.
How your data will be processed by the Government is fully detailed in the link below.
