On 11 April 2023, the UK Government announced a new "failure to prevent fraud" offence, ten months after the Law Commission first proposed the offence in its June 2022 Options Paper on Corporate Criminal Liability. The offence was tabled as an amendment to the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Bill which is currently progressing through the House of Lords, having been introduced first in September 2022.
