Understanding the new corporate criminal standards: a toolkit

Now available

Before 1 September 2025, all businesses will need to understand the impact of the incoming failure to prevent fraud (FTPF) offence (introduced last year under the Economic Crime and Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA)). While the offence only applies to large organisations, smaller businesses may be associates; triggering potential liability for their larger counterparts.

We have developed a toolkit to aid business leaders in assessing how to better support their teams to meet required standards, reducing the risk of their businesses facing criminal liability for the offence.
