With the UK set to introduce the most significant changes to corporate criminal liability laws for a generation, how can companies prepare?

Fraud is a hot topic currently. New technologies and an economic downturn have triggered a huge uptick in these criminal offences worldwide. With new UK legislation in the pipeline to bolster efforts to prevent (and prosecute) corporate fraud, companies are scrambling to prepare.

In this podcast episode, we look at the elevated responsibilities, liabilities, and risks for organisations – spanning controls, governance, frameworks, and more. Along the way, we highlight the issues that should be top of mind for various company leaders, including board chairs and directors, senior managers, chief risk officers, audit committees, and general counsels.

To tackle these issues, Ashurst’s Ruby Hamid is joined by an expert panel of colleagues including Nisha Sanghani, Neil Donovan, Matt Russell and Tom Mercer. This is the first episode in a continuing mini-series about corporate crime and investigations.
