The UK is not immune, unfortunately, and such a disruptive event as the pandemic increases the likelihood that normal safeguards and risk management controls can be bypassed and subverted. There has been an increase in reported fraud and corruption cases over the past year. A survey of fraud experts by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) in August 2020 showed that 77 percent were seeing an increase in fraud. Perhaps not surprisingly, cyber fraud is the fastest-growing problem area, but there has also been an uptick in unemployment fraud. This is bad news in the UK, where fraud is our most common crime, costing the country \u00a3190bn annually, according to the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Q: Have there been any legal and regulatory changes implemented in your country of focus designed to combat fraud and corruption? What penalties do companies face for failure to comply?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>\u00a0A: <\/strong>There is proposed legislation, supported by the secretary of state of the UK\u2019s Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, that would increase accountability for corporations that produce falsified financial statements. This includes a provision that would require company directors to personally sign off on their corporation\u2019s financial statements, under penalty of fines and possible prison time. Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the US, the penalty for falsely certifying such statements is steep: up to 20 years in prison and up to $5m in fines, and the UK is looking at similar measures to step up its fight against fraud and corruption. The UK also recently approved the formation of an audit, reporting and governance authority (ARGA) that should come into force within the next two or three years. Accordingly, the UK is taking a stronger stance against fraud going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em><a class=\"primary-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/newsletter-subscription\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>STAY UPDATED: Sign up for risk management, compliance, corporate and background investigations, business intelligence and due diligence related news, solutions, events and publications<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>\u00a0Q: <\/strong><strong>In your opinion, do regulators in your region have sufficient resources to enforce the law in this area? Are they making inroads?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>A: <\/strong>Combatting fraud is never straightforward. When looking at progress in detecting and preventing fraud, it sometimes feels like a question of whether the glass is half full or half empty. For example, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) brought 13 fraud defendants to trial in 2019 and 2020, with a 95 percent four-year success rate by case. Many of these represent large frauds, and they are meaningful wins, but how many more fraudsters are out there undiscovered? Other bodies, including Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), among others, also have key roles to play in investigating fraud, but a considerable amount of fraud is still investigated and prosecuted at the local level. It is important for leaders in the UK to know what resources law enforcement have and where they need training and support in the fight against fraud.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Q: If a company finds itself subject to a government investigation or dawn raid, how should it respond?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>A: <\/strong>Any investigation, and especially a raid, can be an incredibly stressful time for a company and its employees. The important thing is to not panic \u2013 the investigators have a job to do, and the sooner they get to the truth of the situation, the better for everyone. Companies should direct their management and their employees to cooperate fully, while also engaging legal counsel to properly protect the corporation from future litigation. If fraud is detected, it is a criminal matter and the company should make a good faith effort to work with prosecutors and regulators, while making sure to document all control measures and prior steps taken to manage fraud risk. Having a track record of meeting compliance requirements and having proper internal controls in place at the time fraud occurs could have a mitigating effect in terms of potential prosecution and penalties down the road. <\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/crigroup.com\/ar\/download-a-file\/?dynamictext_945=https:\/\/crigroup.com\/okatsukr\/2021\/04\/INDEPTH-REPRINT_CRI-group.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">View the reprint<\/a> of the interview, covering not only the UK but also the United Arab Emirates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Q: <\/strong><strong>What role are whistleblowers playing in the fight against corporate fraud and corruption? How important is it to train staff to identify and report potentially fraudulent activity?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>A:<\/strong> Employees are a company\u2019s first line of defence against fraud and corruption. But training them to recognise the red flags of fraud is only half of the process. The company must also implement a reporting system that is anonymous and easy to use, so that employees are encouraged to report any suspicions. Then, the company must follow through and fully investigate any reports that do come in. If they do not, whistleblowers will believe that combatting fraud and corruption is not a corporate priority, and the tips will stop coming in. How important are those tips? According to the ACFE, they are by far the highest detection method for fraud, well above audits and other means. The company should communicate that a whistleblower hotline or online reporting system is available, and that there is a zero-tolerance policy for any type of retaliation against whistleblowers. Over time, the tips will come in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Q: What advice can you offer to companies on conducting an internal investigation to follow up on suspicions of fraud or corruption?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>A:<\/strong> Investigations can be challenging, and they require expertise. For example, there are rules for collecting and handling evidence, including physical evidence and witness statements, that must be followed for such evidence to be admissible in court. There are also laws in the UK dealing with privacy and the rights of the accused. The bottom line is that a company already dealing with a potentially costly and damaging fraud scenario should not risk adding more legal trouble through a faulty investigation. Hire experts who deal with corporate crime and specialise in fraud and corruption cases. Like any other area of expertise, they will have the knowledge and resources to help proceed with an investigation and lead it to the most favourable outcome for your company. If you already have anti-fraud professionals on staff, let them take the lead, but provide outside resources as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 20px;\"><strong>Q: What general steps can companies take to proactively prevent corruption and fraud within their organisation?<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>A:<\/strong> A fraud prevention strategy has many different elements, and the sooner companies implement them, the sooner they can begin to work together in a proactive way to prevent fraud. Mandating employee training,\u00a0such as <a href=\"https:\/\/abacgroup.com\/iso-37001-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">ISO 37001 ABMS<\/a>, having an ethical code of conduct signed by every member of staff, providing regular and surprise audits, and implementing a fraud reporting system are all effective ways to help prevent and detect fraud and corruption. None of these methods is strong enough on its own to properly protect organisations. But together, they can be very effective. It is also important to set a \u2018tone at the top\u2019, from ownership, directors and management on down, that fraud will not be tolerated. Anti-fraud controls only work if the company sees them through and thoroughly investigates every report. When fraud is confirmed, any perpetrators should be terminated and potentially prosecuted, sending a message of zero-tolerance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em><strong><a class=\"primary-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/abacgroup.com\/iso-37001-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Find out more about the ISO 37001 training<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>CONTACT INFORMATION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">Zafar Anjum, MSc, MS, CFE, CII, MICA, Int.
