Criminal Fraud FAQs

What is the Serious Fraud Office?

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is a non-ministerial government department that investigates and prosecutes serious and complex fraud, bribery, and corruption.

What does the Prosecution have to prove to get a fraud conviction?

When it comes to ‘risk of loss’, exposing another to such a risk is sufficient. An example of this is the Prosecution can show that you made false representations to get someone to invest in your business. Although the investor may make a good ROI, your false representations have exposed them to the risk of losing money.
