As a reminder, the new failure to prevent offence will apply when an act of fraud is perpetrated by an employee or agent of the company; where it was committed for the organisation’s benefit; and where the organisation lacked reasonable fraud prevention procedures. For the reasons I have set out above, all large organisations – and even those below the size threshold – will need to consider where fraud risks that benefit the organisation sit, and review policies and procedures to ensure compliance.
