The Serious Fraud Office has reviewed its policies on facilitation payments, business expenditure (hospitality) and corporate self-reporting.? The purpose is to:
- restate the SFO’s primary role as an investigator and prosecutor of serious or complex fraud, including corruption;
- ensure there is consistency with other prosecuting bodies; and
- meet certain OECD recommendations.
The revised statements of policy can be found on the website:
- Facilitation payments
- Business expenditure (eg hospitality and gifts)
- Self-reporting
See Q and A page relating to revised policies.
