EMEA Dbriefs - Taking Action On Tax Evasion: Corporate Criminal Offence and the Failure to Prevent Fraud (On demand)

The Corporate Criminal Offence has been in place since 2017, with businesses periodically refreshing risk assessments and updating procedures to meet their obligations. Further, businesses now have the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act to consider, including an offence for the Failure to Prevent Fraud including tax evasion. Our panel and guest speakers – Joseph Cavanagh, HMRC’s CCO lead, and Stephen Nealey from HMRC - will join us to look at what your organisation should be doing now. We will be discussing:

• The latest position on CCO investigations 
• HMRC’s expectations of businesses in relation to their response to CCO 
• The interaction between the CCO legislation and ECCTA 
• Next steps in preparing for ECCTA from a tax perspective and using what your business may already have in place in response to wider anti-economic crime measures

Please join us to hear the latest developments directly from HMRC and raise questions you might have on this topic.
