Effective internal investigations after ECCTA

Our 30 minute session will discuss whether changes to corporate criminal liability brought in by the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (”ECCTA”) have driven a need to revisit approaches to internal investigations and their outputs.

We’ll be covering topics including:

• Practical considerations arising from UK Government Guidance on the Failure to Prevent Fraud offence, what good investigations should look like and whether this has changed

• Core principles of fairness and governance

• Regulatory risks when investigations go wrong and become part of the problem

• Has ECCTA’s introduction of corporate liabilities for the acts of senior managers impacted the conduct of investigations when they involve these personnel?

• ECCTA compliance and investigation priorities for 2026

• Where should you focus your risk management resource

• Top tips on handling the lessons from past internal investigations to inform future compliance plans

Each session will discuss the same topics, therefore, please choose which date works best for you.

Members of the Global Investigations and Forensic & Accounting Services team will present the webinars, please note that not all speakers will present at every session.
