The UK Anti-Corruption Plan, published in December 2014, tasks the Ministry of Justice to examine the case for a new offence of a corporate failure to prevent economic crime and the rules on establishing corporate criminal liability more widely. This work is progressing and any announcements on decisions will be made in due course.
