Serco boss 'deeply saddened' and 'appalled' by fraud

The Chief Executive of Serco Group plc said he was "deeply saddened and appalled" to learn of the misreporting of data within the firm.

The Justice Secretary is right to expect the highest standards of performance from Serco. I am deeply saddened and appalled at the misreporting of data by a small number of employees on the contract.

This is a very serious matter for the customer and for us. We will not tolerate any wrongdoing and that is why we have referred this matter to the Police. It is also why I have immediately initiated a programme of change and corporate renewal.

The overwhelming majority of our people work hard every day to deliver important public services and will share my deep concern about this matter.

– Chief executive of Serco Chris Hyman
