Course Details:

The Criminal Finances Act 2017 (CFA 2017) introduced significant changes to UK financial crime legislation, strengthening measures to prevent tax evasion and replacing key provisions previously covered by the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

One of the most far‑reaching elements of the Act is the corporate criminal offence of failure to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion. Under this legislation, organisations can be held criminally liable if their employees, workers, agents, or service providers facilitate tax evasion - whether in the UK or overseas.

Organisations found to be non‑compliant may face unlimited fines, regulatory action, and serious reputational damage, making awareness and prevention essential across all levels of the business.

This Criminal Finances Act and tax evasion eLearning course provides an accessible, practical overview of the legislation and explains organisational and individual responsibilities for identifying, reporting, and preventing the facilitation of tax evasion. The course uses clear explanations and real‑world examples to help learners understand how tax evasion can occur and what steps to take if concerns arise.

The course is fully customisable, allowing content to be tailored to your organisation’s branding, internal policies, procedures, risk framework, and business practices, ensuring relevance and alignment with your compliance approach.

“We were recommended by a fellow learning and development network member, with InfoAware offering reasonable and competitive pricing and a very helpful, friendly and patient team. Our key requirements for partnering with an external provider were their understanding of how to design truly accessible Articulate Storyline courses, patience and flexibility with timescales as volunteers were offering more of their time to test the outputs, and clearly labelled back-end content so we could easily edit in house.”
