McGuireWoods London partner Francesca Titus examined the U.K. government’s new anti-corruption strategy and its significant implications for businesses in a Feb. 25, 2026, article in The Times. Titus explained that fraud enforcement in the U.K. has been largely dormant since the COVID-19 pandemic. The government’s new strategy signals a dramatic shift, wrote Titus, a partner in the firm’s Government Investigations & White Collar Litigation Practice Group. “Businesses of all sizes must take action, but many are either out of practice or have never operated in an enforcement environment,” Titus wrote. Financial incentives for whistleblowers, modeled on successful U.S. programs, are also anticipated, Titus noted.
