Beyond the policy document: What ECCTA’s ‘reasonable procedures’ mean in practice.
Only 28% of UK directors say they’re prepared for ECCTA.
The Serious Fraud Office has published guidance telling organisations that policies on paper won’t be enough. And the first prosecution under “failure to prevent fraud” is a matter of when, not if.
In this fireside chat, Chris Reed (FISCAL Technologies) and Robert Brooker (Opus Advisory Group, former Head of Fraud at TfL, Chair of the UK Fraud Forum) compare notes on what they’re each seeing, from the investigation side and the detection side – and what “reasonable procedures” actually requires across all six ECCTA principles.
This 40-minute session will cover:
- Why most organisations’ ECCTA preparations fall short of what the SFO will look for.
- The six principles in practice – what governance, risk assessment, due diligence, and monitoring really demand.
- Where fraud investigation experience and systematic detection technology each fit and the gaps neither covers alone.
- The regulatory direction of travel, why getting your house in order for ECCTA simultaneously prepares you for PPR, Procurement Act, Sanctions, and Provision 29.
- Three things you can do this quarter to close your biggest fraud control gaps.
Whether you’ve written the policy and moved on, or you’re still working out where to start, this session will give you a practical framework for what “good” truly looks like – from two people who see the problem from different sides every day.
