Summary

Economic crime has garnered significant attention in both the media and political arenas over the last few years. This Home Office study sheds new light on relatively under-examined areas within the broad spectrum of economic crime – UK businesses’ experiences of fraud, corruption, and money laundering, as well as covering breaches of financial sanctions. The Economic Crime Survey 2024 explores the scale, response, impact and costs of these experiences, and businesses’ risk perceptions and preparedness in relation to these crime types.
