In the corporate crime space, legislators, regulators and businesses are grappling with a changing global and local environment, complex and often overlapping regulations which have cross-border impacts and increasing activities from third party actors in areas such as cyber risk and fraud.

Against that background, a number of key themes emerge for Australian businesses.

Understanding and keeping up with the pace of change required is a constant.
A key challenge is how businesses navigate and reconcile concurrent regulatory requirements.
Businesses can expect intensified scrutiny and investigation efforts by new and existing regulatory bodies.
Businesses must exercise caution and review the strategies they deploy during investigations.
Getting ahead of evolving technology is increasingly critical for businesses in a regulatory landscape.

The HSF Australian corporate crime and investigations team is keeping a close eye on these trends and associated developments in 2025.
