    SFO LAUNCHES NEW ONLINE PORTAL AND WEBSITE TO BETTER SUPPORT VICTIMS OF SERIOUS FRAUD OFFICE INVESTIGATIONS

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    (TORONTO, ON) – This week the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has launched a new Victim Portal and website. The Portal is a secure and user-friendly online platform designed to enhance communication and support for victims impacted by SFO-investigated fraud.

    The Portal streamlines the SFO efforts in providing accessible, effective and confidential resources for those impacted by fraud. Individuals who are a victim of fraud that is under SFO investigation will be invited by a victim liaison to access the Portal.   

    The SFO recognizes the impact that fraud has on individuals and is committed to ensuring they receive a high standard of support according to the principles of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights.

    To align with their commitment, the Portal offers victims a streamlined way to access critical information, communicate directly with victim liaisons, stay informed about the status of their cases and receive information about their rights and the resources available to them. It also allows for victim liaisons to efficiently communicate important updates about on-going cases to many victims simultaneously.

    The Portal was developed through a collaborative effort with victim liaisons, fraud investigators, Crown prosecutors and technology experts to ensure that the platform meets the unique needs of those impacted by fraud.

    In addition to the Portal, general members of the public can view the new SFO website that offers valuable resources about fraud, how to report fraud, victims’ rights and the criminal justice system. To access the new informative website visit sfo.opp.ca.

    Both the Victim Portal and the website have been designed to be mobile-friendly, to ensure information can be accessed whenever and wherever needed.

    QUOTES:

    “This new portal will provide seamless support and protection to victims of crime as they rebuild their lives and regain their confidence and security. By streamlining resource sharing, case updates and other communications between police and victims, we’re putting those who have been harmed first while ensuring criminals are held accountable.”

    – Solicitor General Michael Kerzner

    “Incidents of fraud continue to rise and can affect anyone. Our government is committed to combatting serious crime and protecting the people of Ontario. Ontario’s Serious Fraud Office is a leader in this fight and their new website and victim portal will not only help ensure victims know how to recognize and report serious fraud but it will also support the timely and efficient prosecution of large-scale and complex fraud cases.”  

    – Attorney General Doug Downey

    “As fraud continues to present a significant risk to our community, we are introducing new innovations to better serve those who have been victimized. Together with our partners at the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Ontario Provincial Police is pleased to introduce an online Victim Portal and dedicated SFO website that will make it easier for victims of serious fraud investigations to stay up to date with their case progress and to find helpful resources.”

    – OPP Detective Superintendent Mike Bickerton
