Combatting fraud is getting even more serious with the new corporate criminal crime that’s coming into force in September 2025. Guidance providing advice on the ‘failure to prevent fraud’ offence has now been published and we are very pleased to see that whistleblowing is referenced throughout – including the need for robust policies, training, and board level accountability to oversee whistleblowing. Protect contributed heavily to this guidance and listed as the go-to place for any organisation developing their whistleblowing procedures.
For several years in a row, research has shown that fraud is most often uncovered through tip-offs including from employees. We know whistleblowers are the biggest asset when it comes to spotting wrongdoing in the workplace, but do you?
Join us in February, where expert speakers will unpack the detail of this new offence and provide clear actionable steps you can take in preparation. Whether you’re looking to enhance your current fraud prevention frameworks or build an anti-fraud culture from scratch, this event will provide valuable knowledge and practical tools to support you.
Details on the speakers, agenda, and how to register will be released very soon. We look forward to seeing you in February and empowering your organisation to take proactive steps toward fighting fraud in your organisation.
