With the government’s impending clampdown on financial crime through a £9.3m boost to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), Katie Wheatley’s thoughts have not only featured in Fraud Intelligence, but also in the New Law Journal.
Katie is quoted saying:
“The government will expect to see a return on that investment in faster and more consistently successful outcomes.
“It is interesting this announcement comes hot on the heels of the publication of the Home Office guidance… which has set the clock ticking for corporates to work on fraud prevention procedures that will provide them with a defence to failing to prevent fraud committed by their employees.”
