The number of agencies responsible for fighting economic crime and fraud is bewildering.
Recommendation
The number of agencies responsible for fighting economic crime and fraud is bewildering. Each of the enforcement agencies has other crime-fighting or regulatory objectives, and although the joint working co-ordinated by for example the National Economic Crime Centre is welcome, there is a bigger question about whether there should be a single law enforcement agency with clear responsibilities and objectives to fight economic crime. We recommend that the Government seriously considers this issue as part of a review of the Economic Crime Plan.
