A&O ShearmanThe fourth commencement regulations made under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) have been published. Regulation 2 brought into force on 18 March certain provisions in Parts 1 and 2 of the Act. Regulation 3 brings measures creating the new offence of failing to prevent fraud fully into force in all of the United Kingdom on 1 September. Regulation 4 amends the third set of commencement regulations which failed to comply with the requirement that guidance must be published before regulations bringing section 199 (failure to prevent fraud) of the Act into force are made. Guidance was published on 6 November 2024, the day after the third commencement regulations were made. Regulation 5 replaces references in certain regulations to the commencement of a provision with a reference to the actual date on which the provision came into force. The explanatory note also contains a table listing provisions of the ECCTA which have been brought into force by previous commencement regulations.
