The ALRC’s final report on corporate criminal responsibility is lengthy and there is a lot to absorb for Government and the business community. We have outlined our key areas to watch on the proposed reforms.

The ALRC has moved away from some more radical proposals in its 2019 discussion paper, though key reforms are still proposed.

Simpler, clearer and more consistent regulation is a recurring theme.
