Caroline Greenwell and Bella Henry write for FT Adviser on the SFO’s annual report
The Serious Fraud Office recently published its annual report providing an overview of the SFO’s performance, objectives and future strategy.
This annual report is the first under the new director of the SFO, Nick Ephgrave and while the annual report, expectedly, focuses largely on the successes the SFO has had over the course of the year, no discussion of the SFO’s performance would be complete without consideration of areas for improvement and the report does acknowledge this.
An undisputed key area for improvement is the SFO's disclosure regime and similarly, the sluggish pace at which many prosecutions are brought.
In an article for FT Adviser, Caroline Greenwell, Partner, and Bella Henry, Associate, reflect on the SFO's goals and successes and look ahead to possible areas for improvement.
