SFO warns firms on dangers of hiding

Hannah von Dedelszen has spoken on how companies that choose to self-report can engage with SFO. She stressed that being open, honest and transparent is the key.  she noted some firms operate “smoke and mirrors”, involving admitting some things but hiding more major issues. She said any firm reporting must do so properly.

Going forward, she said, SFO will pay increasing attention to compliance programmes.
