Financial crime is once again under scrutiny. New measures – including the UK’s ‘failure to prevent fraud’ offence, revised auditor duties under ISA 240, stronger whistleblowing protections, and updates to the UK Corporate Governance Code – signal that corporate accountability is now essential. Businesses must reinforce fraud controls, enhance detection and respond seriously to all allegations.

Technology is also reshaping the landscape. Artificial intelligence (AI), data connectivity and evolving regulatory expectations are transforming how firms combat financial crime. Generative AI and large language models are improving the detection and investigation of suspicious activity, while regulators work to ensure governance and transparency keep pace. Sanctions compliance is advancing too – machine learning is reducing false positives, data analytics are revealing hidden ownership structures, and automation is streamlining due diligence.
