The new corporate criminal offence of ‘failure to prevent fraud’, created by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) 2023, came into force on 1 September 2025. This means that large organisations can be held criminally liable if any person associated with it commits a “base fraud” offence (listed in Schedule 13 to ECCTA 2023), and the organisation did not have reasonable fraud prevention procedures in place. The new corporate criminal offence of failure to prevent fraud is in line with the offence of failure to prevent bribery set out in the Bribery Act (BA) 2010. This classroom will provide a timely opportunity for lawyers who are advising organisations about their obligations under ECCTA 2023 and BA 2010 to learn from and ask questions of a subject matter expert.
Come along and sharpen your knowledge in this changing area. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions tailored to your practice.
This online classroom will be held on Thursday 23 April 2026 from 1pm to 2pm. Enrol now!
