Tuesday 20 January, 12pm UK | Corporate governance risk are entering a new phase. The failure to prevent fraud offence is now in force, existing failure to prevent bribery and tax evasion rules are seeing additional enforcement, and the forthcoming Crime and Policing Bill is set to expand both corporate and senior manager liability for a much wider range of criminal offences.
At the same time, the FCA non-financial misconduct rules go live in September, the government is preparing a Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, and listed companies will face tougher expectations on internal controls and board oversight.
In this webinar, we will take you through the key changes UK corporates need to prepare for in 2026. We will look at how failure to prevent fraud, bribery and tax evasion interact, what “adequate procedures” now need to cover in practice, how the Crime and Policing Bill could increase the risk of prosecution, and what the Employment Rights Bill means for harassment, wellbeing and workplace management.
