Insight
In the corporate crime space, legislators, regulators and businesses are grappling with a changing global and local environment, complex and often overlapping regulations which have cross-border impacts and increasing activities from third party actors in areas such as cyber risk and fraud.
Against that background, a number of key themes emerge for Australian businesses.
- Understanding and keeping up with the pace of change required is a constant.
- A key challenge is how businesses navigate and reconcile concurrent regulatory requirements.
- Businesses can expect intensified scrutiny and investigation efforts by new and existing regulatory bodies.
- Businesses must exercise caution and review the strategies they deploy during investigations.
- Getting ahead of evolving technology is increasingly critical for businesses in a regulatory landscape.
The HSF Australian corporate crime and investigations team is keeping a close eye on these trends and associated developments in 2025.
