Is it worth co-operating with the Serious Fraud Office? – FTAdviser.com

By Securities Docket on October 1, 2019, 8:58 am

The Serious Fraud Office has published its Corporate Co-operation Guidance, outlining the level of co-operation required if an entity hopes to avoid a criminal prosecution or to enter into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA).

This includes identifying suspected wrongdoing, self-reporting, and preserving and providing evidence. However, there is a caveat: even “full, robust co-operation” is no guarantee of a favourable resolution.

This is the first time the SFO has provided detailed written guidance on its attitude to co-operation, and it is made clear that this “means providing assistance to the SFO that goes above and beyond what the law requires”.
