Our roles

The core work of the SFO involves detecting, investigating and prosecuting serious or complex fraud, including corruption.

Our investigation teams are structured differently from other law enforcement agencies. Our cases are investigated by multidisciplinary teams made up of highly skilled investigators, forensic accountants, investigating lawyers and electronic forensic investigators, supported by critical roles such as document management specialists, legal advisors and e-discovery experts. Based on the United Kingdom’s Roskill Model, this structure is considered best practice for investigating complex financial crime.
