With the recent creation of the International Anti-Corruption Prosecutorial Taskforce in Europe, companies will now need to consider its impact on European and global regulatory enforcement matters. Margot Sève and Vanessa McGoldrick, who focus on cross-border enforcement matters at Skadden, describe how this collaboration between U.K., French and Swiss authorities represents a strategic response to evolving global enforcement priorities. With Skadden colleague and host Andrew Good, they share insights about the taskforce's formation, its extraterritorial enforcement capabilities and the increased use of tools like deferred prosecution agreements.

We are pleased to present the premiere episode of “An Ounce of Prevention,” a podcast focused on compliance and white collar crime trends.In this inaugural episode, host Andrew Good is joined by Skadden colleagues Jonathan Benson and Jason Williamson to discuss the new U.K. failure to prevent fraud offence taking effect on September 1. The panel explores how this strict liability offence significantly expands corporate criminal liability for fraud committed by associated persons, making it easier to prosecute companies, particularly large organizations. They examine the offence’s extraterritorial reach, the crucial "reasonable procedures" defence and practical steps companies should take to prepare, including implementing appropriate anti-fraud policies and procedures aligned with government guidance focusing on top-level commitment, risk assessment and monitoring.
