Does US Corporate Fraud Investigation put UK to shame?
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010In an SFO review it was identified that there were 2 causes contributing to the agency’s under-performance… those being the calibre of human capital and systematic weaknesses outside the control of the SFO. It was stated that New York has six heavy hitting prosecutors’ offices capable of managing financial crime cases and that there are just 2 in the UK, the SFO and the CPS’s Revenue and Customs Division… Is it right that in the UK it can take up to 18 months from charge to obtain a trial fixture date while in contrast the US Speedy Trial Act mandates that a trial starts within 70 days of indictment! ?
NHS Counter Fraud Conviciton
Monday, March 15th, 2010A recent article reporting fraud convicitons within the NHS demonstrates the effectiveness of their Counter Fraud Service.

It’s good to see that this dishonest behaviour is being targeted by the Counter Fraud Specialists and that the NHS recognise the need to allocate significant resources to this area of investigation.
