UK: Fraud Advisory Panel report - 'hidden in plain sight: domestic corruption, fraud and the integrity deficit'

The Fraud Advisory Panel has published a report titled 'Hidden in plain sight: domestic corruption, fraud and the integrity deficit': see here (pdf). The report provides an overview of the anti-corruption framework in the UK as well as highlighting well-known and emerging areas of concern. It ends with a 'blueprint for action', arguing (amongst other things) for greater and easier access to court information and documents; the creation of a central public reporting mechanism (the Home Office is currently exploring options for a centralised reporting mechanism: see here, pdf); and the introduction of corporate criminal offence in respect of the failure to prevent economic crime (the subject of a Government call for evidence in 2017).
