QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

The enactment of the new Failure to Prevent Fraud offence (FTPFO) presents a substantial new dimension to already complex compliance challenges faced by the waste industry. During the roundtable, we will explore:

  • The key legal provisions introduced by the Act.
  • The underlying fraud offenses, triggering the FTPFO.
  • Specific, practical implications on the waste industry.
  • The potential defences available, with a focus on what constitutes reasonable controls to ensure compliance.
  • How are you approaching the risk assessment for the FTPFO in your organisation and how well progressed are you?
  • To what extent does your risk assessment process consider fraud risks specifically in the context of the FTPFO legal framework and your organisation?
  • How are you identifying and evaluating the risk of your Associated Persons?
  • Which areas/associated persons have you identified as posing the greatest risk to your organisation?
  • Where have you identified the most significant gaps in your current risk framework?
  • How important do you consider firm and group culture to be in successfully implementing FTPFO measures and what steps can you take to shift culture?
