Serious Fraud Office posts online form to report suspicions
The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is asking City lawyers and accountants to blow the whistle on fraud by posting a fraud reporting form online.
The SFO has written to senior and managing partners of the leading accountancy and legal firms in London with details of the form.
The SFO said: “This online referral form is targeting individual workers, ex-employees, shareholders and anyone with information about suspected ‘City’ fraud. Information received will be treated in the strictest confidence.”
The SFO said was working closely with colleagues in the law enforcement community both in the UK and abroad, with Governments and regulators.
Typically the SFO does not investigate or prosecute cases involving less than £1m.
