“As a newcomer, my year has been a little different to normal. Obviously, joining the Forensic Services team in London has been an absolute highlight, and I have really enjoyed getting to know my new colleagues and other Partners across the firm. In the run up to my arrival in September, I watched with interest the press articles referring to FRP’s involvement in the investigations at WANdisco, plc., and then at Inland Homes plc. The confidential nature of such important and sensitive work often means that our role is not known publicly, so it was great to see FRP clearly identified as the trusted, independent forensic investigator.” How have you found your first few months at FRP?
“My immediate priority is making new connections with clients, lawyers and colleagues. I have also been reflecting on the much-debated ‘Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act’ (ECCTA) as it made its way through Parliament, and considering what its practical implications are for corporate fraud risk management. In response, FRP has developed a robust and flexible framework to help companies identify and manage fraud risk efficiently, alongside their other misconduct risks – you will be hearing more about this in the new year.” What are your priorities for 2024 at FRP?
