| Annotation | The research outlined in this article was commissioned by the Public Guardianship Office (PGO) to identify the risks and explore the safeguards needed to prevent the deliberate misappropriation of clients' funds. Specifically, the authors explain the role, remit and mechanisms available to the PGO in relation to the administration of the financial affairs of adults unable to manage their affairs. They outline findings of a review which evaluated of 51 case files, which suggests that in at least 4% of these abuse may have occurred. (RH). |
