Annual Report & Accounts 2023-24

30 July, 2024 | News Releases

Statement from the Director

Director of the Serious Fraud Office Nick Ephgrave QPM sits behind his desk, with SFO and UK flags in background.I am pleased to present the Annual Report and Accounts for the Serious Fraud Office for the reporting year 2023-24.

This year, we have carried out multiple executive action initiatives, with 15 sites searched and 15 individuals arrested. As well as taking three cases to trial this year, we have opened six criminal investigations and taken the decision to close a further six following rigorous discussions and application of the Code Test. Throughout, we have offered sustained, personal support to victims affected by the cases we are investigating, helping them to understand the processes underway and how we are delivering justice.
