Webinar: Failure to Prevent Fraud - What to Expect and How to Prepare

Coming into force on 1 September 2025, the new “Failure to Prevent Fraud” offence under the UK’s Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) marks a major turning point for corporate liability.

It makes 'large organisations' (companies and partnerships) and their subsidiaries liable for 'fraud offences' committed in the UK by their 'associates' in certain circumstances, subject to a defence of 'reasonable procedures'.

In this essential webinar, legal and compliance professionals will gain a clear understanding of the offence, who it applies to, and how to mitigate legal risk through effective internal procedures.

📌 Topics covered include:

What the new offence means for UK companies and partnerships

Which organisations, subsidiaries, and “associates” are affected

Key elements of the “reasonable procedures” defence

How this offence builds on previous frameworks like the Bribery Act and DPAs

How to prepare your organisation for compliance and avoid prosecution

Practical steps for internal investigations and risk mitigation

This session is essential for legal professionals, compliance officers, senior executives, and risk managers seeking to understand and navigate the changing landscape of corporate fraud liability under UK law in 2025.
