Containing comprehensive coverage of recent changes, the book deals extensively with the Fraud Act 2006, going on to explain the particular types of fraud activity that are charged, from the everyday bread and butter work that most lawyers experience on a daily basis through to the more specialist areas such as Ponzi Fraud, Boiler room fraud, insider dealing and carbon credit fraud.

This new edition is fully revised with key developments including:

- The dangers of instructing experts without sufficient expertise
- Dismissal of applications following SFO v Barclays Plc [2018] EWHC 3055
- Attorney General's Guidelines on Disclosure 2022
