Webinar: Corporate Investigations – Recent Developments

Recent years have seen an increased political and public demand for corporate accountability in the UK, including for new ways to hold organisations criminally liable for wrongdoing committed on their behalf or which otherwise is judged to have been preventable. With traditional legal principles generally requiring proof of personal fault, excepting in limited 'regulatory' contexts, this has meant a radical reshaping of corporate criminal liability. This includes by: Extending the 'regulatory' approach to economic crimes; Seeking new ways to make organisations responsible for other social harms, including those connected to supply chains; and Among law enforcement agencies, maintaining a focus on corporate offending often at the expense of those individuals alleged to have committed the wrongdoing. The upshot includes the paradoxical effects of punishing organisations for wrongdoing which they cannot prevent; incentivising commercially-minded organisations to enter settlement agreements in relation to conduct which may not be criminal; hanging innocent individuals out to dry in the rush to agreeing corporate settlements; while simultaneously reducing the chance of successfully prosecuting individuals who may actually commit wrongdoing. Against this background, we will be discussing recent developments in corporate investigations with a particular focus on: Failure to prevent offences and the anticipated introduction of a new failure to prevent fraud offence; The latest on deferred prosecution agreements, including considerations of Tetris Bluu; Supply chains and the proceeds of crime; Funding and resourcing of law enforcement; Other recent developments To view this webinar and read other content from the panel please visit: https://www.mondaq.com/uk/corporateco... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To view our other upcoming webinars please visit: https://tinyurl.com/yy3bra2y For advice and how we can showcase your content, reach engaged global audiences and create new relationships by building your firm and advisors’ brands please contact: enquiries@mondaq.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00 - Introduction 3:11 - 'Failure To Prevent' Fraud 27:16 - DPAs: Bluu & Tetris 33:18 - Supply Chains & POCA 44:42 - Resourcing Law Enforcement 46:45 - Economic Crime Legislation 50:55 - Q&A And Outro
