Recommendation 37

37 Paragraph: 146

Failure to prevent fraud' offence could improve corporate behaviour and prevention efforts.

Conclusion
The ‘failure to prevent’ offence for bribery has had success in driving better corporate behaviours. A similar offence for failure to prevent fraud being perpetrated using a company’s platforms would not only aid prosecution for these failures but focus private sector effort on designing fraud out of companies’ systems.
