The Serious Fraud Office is the specialist prosecuting authority in the UK that deals with cases of complex fraud, bribery and corruption.

Serious fraud encompasses a range of financial offences including banking and investment fraud, false accounting and income tax fraud, as well as offences under the Fraud Act 2006, which are discussed in more detail on this page.

These cases rely heavily on data such as emails and other communication records along with financial data. Investigations can take several years to conclude and can causeA immense stress and intrusion into a business or individual’s life and reputation.
