In this Q&A, with Charlotte Tregunna and Abbie Melvin, the interviewer from Lexology explores the UK’s rapidly evolving anti-corruption landscape, highlighting key regulatory developments, increased enforcement activity, and new funding for agencies such as the Serious Fraud Office. The discussion outlines what these changes mean in practice for compliance professionals, particularly in light of new offences like ‘failure to prevent fraud’ and expanding corporate liability.

The interview also examines emerging risks, including heightened scrutiny of senior managers, increased use of dawn raids, and the growing importance of robust internal investigations and self-reporting strategies. It offers practical insight into how organisations should adapt their compliance frameworks to keep pace with enforcement priorities.

Looking ahead, the piece considers anticipated reforms such as whistle-blower incentivisation and the impact of the Public Procurement Act 2023, underscoring how these shifts could reshape corporate behaviour and compliance expectations.
