Fraud, prosecution and regulation: Achieving effective control

Abstract

This paper reviews the issues surrounding jury trials in fraud cases in the context of the Home Office's consultation document in early 1998. It includes an account of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and concludes that a greater willingness to use regulatory institutions to deal with misconduct is essential to permitting the SFO, as the leading fraud prosecution agency, to discharge its responsibilities effectively.
