Welcome to the Fraud Horizon

Scan Assessment Tool

Fraud prevention has become a critical priority, and Horizon77 is here to support your organisation. Our assessment tool is meticulously designed to assist organisations in navigating the new 'Failure to Prevent Fraud' (FTPF) offence, introduced under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA).

Accurately evaluate the maturity of your organisation's fraud prevention controls.

Highlight areas of good practice and identify potential weaknesses.

Deliver tailored recommendations to guide improvement efforts.

Understanding the New Legislation

The UK government has introduced the FTPF offence to strengthen accountability and close legal loopholes, holding organisations liable for fraud committed by their employees or agents for the organisation's benefit. This landmark legislation, effective from 1st September 2025 , aims to:

Enhance fraud prevention across all sectors.

Deter organisations from ignoring fraudulent activities that may benefit them.

Encourage a proactive approach to implementing and improving fraud prevention procedures.

Unlike previous laws, liability does not require proof that senior management ordered or were aware of fraudulent activity. Instead, organisations will be held accountable if reasonable fraud prevention procedures are not in place, fostering a shift towards greater corporate responsibility and transparency.
