In April 2021, the Director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) commissioned Brian Altman KC to conduct a review into our handling of the R v Woods & Marshall prosecution. As of November 2022, ten out of 18 of the report's recommendations have already been delivered. The SFO established a plan of work to implement all recommendations by the end of the financial year 2022/23 and we are on track to meet this objective.
