Ministerial Economic Crime Strategic Board: Non-governmental Organisations

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the new Economic Crime Strategic Board plans to consult with economic crime or anti-corruption NGOs.

Answer

The Economic Crime Strategic Board (ECSB) will drive the public and private sector response to economic crime by: setting priorities; directing resources; and scrutinising performance against the economic crime threat. Board members include the UK’s Anti-Corruption Champion whose role is to oversee the government’s response to domestic and international corruption.

The Champion and other Board Members regularly engage with external stakeholders, including civil society organisations. This provides civil society with a channel to share their views with the ECSB on the development and implementation of policy.
