ECCTA: One Year On

One year after the failure to prevent fraud offence came into force, have business behaviours actually changed, or are organisations ignoring the risks?

About the event

One year after the failure to prevent fraud offence came into force, have business behaviours actually changed, or are organisations ignoring the risks?

Join Brendan Weekes (S&W) and Natalie Quinlivan (Fieldfisher) as they reflect on the first year of the legislation, explore emerging regulatory expectations, and discuss what effective fraud prevention looks like in practice.

With increasing scrutiny on corporate governance, accountability and fraud controls, businesses face growing pressure to demonstrate that reasonable procedures are in place and operating effectively.

By attending, you’ll gain:

• A clearer understanding of where regulatory expectations are heading

• Practical insight into what “reasonable procedures” look like in practice

• An overview of the controls, governance and documentation auditors are increasingly expecting to see

• Greater confidence in assessing whether your organisation’s fraud prevention framework remains fit for purpose

Whether you’re reviewing existing controls or planning your next compliance priorities, this session will help you understand the risks, responsibilities and opportunities facing UK organisations in the year ahead.
