Summary

The UK Economic Crime Act 2023 strengthens the country’s response to money laundering, fraud, bribery, sanctions evasion, and other financial crimes by expanding corporate liability, improving ownership transparency, and increasing law-enforcement powers. A central change is a broader “failure to prevent” offence, under which businesses may be liable when associated persons commit relevant crimes if reasonable prevention procedures were not in place. The Act also reinforces the Register of Overseas Entities through stricter beneficial-ownership disclosure rules, daily fines, potential criminal prosecution for inaccurate information, and greater Companies House enforcement authority, while reforms to asset recovery and Unexplained Wealth Orders aim to help investigators pursue illicit funds held through complex structures. Businesses are encouraged to update risk assessments, perform enhanced customer and beneficial-owner due diligence, train staff, establish reporting processes, and maintain ongoing AML monitoring, with the text presenting Didit’s identity-verification and screening platform as a tool for supporting these compliance activities.
