AnnotationFinancial abuse is a form of elder abuse. It is the misuse of an older person's money or property by a relative or other trusted person. To coincide with World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 15 June 2006, Age Concern New Zealand produced documentation on elder abuse, and on its Towards Prevention of Financial Abuse project. The aim of Towards prevention is to promote greater public awareness of financial abuse as a form of elder abuse and neglect, for example through educational resources, 'It's your money' and 'Be alert to financial abuse'. Factsheets on financial abuse, and elder abuse and neglect indicate the extent of the problem, as does 'Key findings from An analysis of referrals for the period 1 July 2002 to 30 June 2004' produced by ACNZ's Elder Abuse and Neglect Prevention Service. (RH).
