Serious Fraud Office investigations

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) uses its highly specialised knowledge to investigate cases where serious or complex fraud with a value of more than £1 million is suspected – especially when a significant international dimension is involved.

In such cases, it is important that accountants and other professionals deal correctly with requests for documents and witness interviews in order to avoid committing an offence under section 2 of the Criminal Justice Act 1987 and coming under suspicion of being involved in the fraudulent activity.

The specialists at Watson Buckle have many years’ experience in advising on SFO investigations. Therefore, we can assist clients who are under scrutiny, as well as ensuring that their accountants meet all the SFO requirements whilst maintaining as much of their duty of confidentiality as possible.
