On September 27, 2018, the U.K.'s Serious Fraud Office announced that it will be restructuring and expanding its management team with two new senior appointments:
- A new Head of Intelligence to enable the SFO to move to a more proactive approach to sourcing new cases. This appointment will enable the Head of Investigations to focus on advising on investigative strategy and leading the professional development of investigators.
- A new Head of Corporate Services to manage the finance, human resources, procurement and facilities management functions. This new appointment will enable the General Counsel to focus on legal matters.
The recruitment process for the new roles will run concurrently with recruitment of an appropriate replacement for the SFO's current General Counsel, who will be leaving the SFO later in the year after six years.
