View answerIt is intended to publish an account of the investigative shortcomings identified by Judge Aylmer shortly. The purpose of publishing the account is to understand the factors that led to such investigative shortcomings and to take appropriate steps to address them.
These steps include ongoing reform within the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement, including ongoing recruitment of specialist expertise and the establishment, as announced by Government last November, of the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement as an agency, to provide it with greater autonomy and ensure it is better equipped to investigate increasingly complex breaches of company law. It is expected that the General Scheme of a Bill to give effect to this decision will be considered by Government shortly.
