Webinar: Falling foul of regulations – Have you failed to prevent fraud?

Introduced last year as part of the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCT), from the 1st September, Failure to Prevent Fraud will become a criminal offence.

Under the failure to prevent fraud offence, large organisations may be held criminally liable where an employee, agent, subsidiary, or other associated person, commits a fraud intending to benefit the organisation.

Examples may include dishonest sales practices, the hiding of important information from consumers or investors, or dishonest practices in financial markets. In the event of prosecution, an organisation would have to demonstrate to the court that it had reasonable fraud prevention measures in place at the time that the fraud was committed.

With fraud being the most common crime type in the UK, amounting to around 40% of all crime in England and Wales, these new measures are part of a wider government ambition to reduce fraud and protect potential victims, including business victims. As part of the initiative, Companies House will receive enhanced abilities to verify the identities of company directors, remove fraudulent organisations from the company register and share information with criminal investigation agencies.
