Investigations team has contributed to the Global Investigations
Review. The article, ‘
Do companies have a moral duty to self-report to the
SFO?‘ considers the recent SFO case involving
Amec Foster Wheeler (Amec) and argues that while the corporate
bribery settlement has not introduced any legal obligation to
self-report wrongdoing to the Serious Fraud Office, the judgment
does encourage companies to seriously consider their moral and
ethical duties when deciding whether to do so.
