Course overview

The Government is bringing in new legislation that will extend the existing 'failure to prevent' offences relating to bribery and tax evasion to a third offence of failure to prevent fraud by large corporations. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act will also extend the concept of the 'identification doctrine', meaning that criminal acts committed by a company officer may be attributed to the company itself more easily.

This two-hour course will introduce you to the concept of 'failure to prevent' (FTP) and explain the new FTP offences, the impact of recent changes to the law and what you must do to meet your legal responsibilities.

  • The concept of 'failure to prevent' offences
  • Existing obligations under the Criminal Finances Act 2017 and the Bribery Act 2010
