Posted in: Serious Fraud Office (SFO), Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPA).

There seems to be a pattern in recent years where the company accepts culpability, but then the individuals involved are tried and acquitted.

Instead, why not take your chances with a trial?

Rahman Ravelli's Syed Rahman was recently asked by Compliance Week to provide his thoughts on the DPA process.
