Details

This study, commissioned by the Home Office and conducted by Ipsos, explores UK businesses with employees’ experiences of fraud, bribery and corruption, and money laundering, as well as covering breaches of financial sanctions. The report examines the scale, response, impact and costs of these experiences, and businesses’ risk perceptions and preparedness in relation to these crime types. The study involved a quantitative survey of businesses about their experiences in the last 12 months, alongside qualitative interviews focussed on corruption, money laundering and financial sanctions.

This survey represents the first comprehensive effort to examine fraud, corruption, and money laundering across the entire population of businesses with employees in the UK. Utilising rigorous quantitative survey techniques, supplemented by qualitative interviews, this study provides a robust and unique perspective on the experiences of UK businesses with employees with these forms of economic crime.
