Fraud data is provided by Action Fraud – the public-facing national fraud and cybercrime reporting centre, as well as two industry bodies, Cifas and UK Finance, who report instances of fraud where their member organisations have been a victim.
Further information on each of the Fraud data sources and the differences between them can be found in Section 5.4 of the User guide to crime statistics for England and Wales and also in the Overview of fraud and computer misuse statistics article.
