The legislative landscape for corporates continues to evolve and it can be difficult to keep up to date with what is required. The penalties for non-compliance can be steep, not only in financial terms, but in time spent dealing with the matter and reputational damage.

This series will focus on the Bribery Act 2010, Criminal Finances Act 2017, the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 and consider :
