CIFAS Impact

I suspect the employer is trying to frighten you. AFAIAA, CIFAS doesn't
get involved in employment disputes. However, if you have a legal add-on to your household insurance policy, it might be worth consulting them.

Thanks, I don't have the add-on to my household policy.

Seems I don't have option either to accept and move on or consult in legal way

If it was a genuine mistake it is not fraud, and you need to fight this, up to and including through the courts.

From reading the OP's posts and related responses; it would appear the OP has been in charge of approving expenses and one of his subordinates has put through fraudulent expenses - the colleague was essentially paying himself.

If it has been assessed that he, in his position, should have noticed these fraudulent expenses then I don't see what there is to argue? It could never be factually proved whether he was aware or not of the fraud.

@OP you can submit a DSAR to CIFAS to see if you have a marker;

Finally bit relieved as my employer agreed not to update CIFAS however I have to resign to the job.

Well that could have gone a lot worse, good luck in the job search and hopefully your future colleagues aren't criminals!

However there is nothing to stop the employer going back on their word. Seems very odd to me and I would be inclined to get some legal advice. Don't let them stitch you up.

Yes agree however once I am relieved from the role they cannot do that as per process. Because Date matters.
