The ECCTA: What the UK's Latest Corporate Transparency and Economic Reform Bill Means for Your Organization
Wednesday, 27 August 2025 | 10:00 AM EDT (3:00 PM GMT)
In 2024, the UK passed the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act (ECCTA) largely in response to growing concern in the region over money laundering, fraud and other financial crime. Taking inspiration from the UK Criminal Finance Act, the ECCTA establishes a new corporate criminal offense for "failing to prevent fraud" (effective 1 September 2025), while also significantly broadening the scope of corporate criminal liability for companies headquartered, or operating in the UK. Hear firsthand from TRACE's Partner Firm for England and Wales, Addleshaw Goddard, as Harriet Territt, a Partner in the Global Investigations Group, shares insights on how to best prepare for this law's enactment including recommended steps to take for shoring up your compliance policies and procedures for both employees and those who do business on your organization's behalf, before the law is in place. Ensure your organization is best prepared, come ready with your most pressing questions for Harriet.
*CLE credits are available for this webinar in the following states only – TX, VA, NY, NJ, CA. Additional instructions on how to obtain CLE credits will be provided during the webinar.
