Rolls-Royce and the SFO agree a £500m DPA

The DPA is the third and largest of its kind and is the result of the largest single investigation carried out by the SFO.  The judgment of the Court provides invaluable further guidance on the offences under the Bribery Act 2010 and how to deal with the SFO when such conduct is discovered or suspected.

This note discusses the Deferred Prosecution Agreement which Rolls-Royce recently agreed with the Serious Fraud Office and which was approved by the Court on 17 January 2017.
