The SFO exists to tackle the most serious and complex cases of fraud, bribery and corruption. The SFO\u2019s remit is to investigate and, where appropriate, prosecute those cases that fall within this remit.<\/p>

Please find a breakdown of Serious Fraud Office (SFO) prosecutions by case in each financial year:<\/p>
