<h2 id="what-constitutes-fraud" class="rb-heading-index-0-14834">What constitutes fraud?</h2>
<p><strong>Fraud is a deliberate act of deception</strong> intended for personal gain or to cause a loss to another party.</p>
<p><strong>An irregularity</strong> is an act which doesn’t comply with EU rules and which has a potentially negative impact on EU financial interests, but which may be the result of genuine errors committed both by beneficiaries claiming funds and by the authorities responsible for making payments. <strong>If an irregularity is committed deliberately, however, it’s fraud</strong>.</p>
