From 29 June 2026, a company or partnership also commits an offence where a senior manager commits it while acting within the actual or apparent scope of their authority, replacing the narrower 2023 rule that covered economic crimes only.
Covers bodies incorporated outside the UK. Excludes cases where all the conduct occurs outside the UK and the organisation would not have committed the offence had the conduct been its own.
