Webinar: Protecting your Council – ECCTA compliance in an era of budget constraints

Webinar: Protecting your Council – ECCTA compliance in an era of budget constraints

From September 2025, the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act introduces a powerful new offence: “Failure to Prevent Fraud”. This creates unlimited liability for Councils.
 

One undetected fraud scheme could result in devastating fines and regulatory intervention. At the same time, local authorities are already under pressure:

  • £4 billion funding shortfall.
  • 16% vacancy rates in finance teams.

Traditional compliance models no longer work in this environment. The question is, how do we solve this?

Join this essential 60-minute webinar

 
Learn how forward-thinking Councils are transforming ECCTA compliance from a burden into a competitive advantage.

You’ll discover:

  • The true scale of undetected fraud in local Government (the statistics will surprise you).
  • How to demonstrate “reasonable controls” that satisfy regulators, within budget constraints.
  • Practical implementation strategies that work for teams with reduced staffing levels.
  • Why some Councils view ECCTA as an opportunity rather than a threat.
  • Real examples of Councils preventing losses whilst strengthening their operational capabilities.

Who should attend?
This session is critical for professionals facing ECCTA compliance pressures: Chief Executives, Chief Finance Officers, Section 151 Officers, Exchequer Managers, and Heads of Accounts Payable.

Don’t let compliance catch your Council unprepared.
