Financial Crime and Regulatory Offences
Financial crime investigations against businesses and individuals have dramatically increased with greater powers having been given to regulatory authorities and these are set to rise in the current economic climate. Government bodies and regulators including the Serious Fraud Office, the Office of Fair Trading, the Financial Services Authority, HM Revenue & Customs and the Health & Safety Executive have extensive investigative powers which are complex, intrusive and can be financially crippling to the businesses and individuals involved.
