Q5 - Deferred Prosecution Agreements

A UK Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) is an agreement reached between a prosecutor and a party which could be prosecuted (i.e., 'Party X'), under the supervision of a judge.

The agreement allows a prosecution to be suspended for a defined period provided 'Party X' meets certain specified conditions.

Question - Are DPAs applicable to?

  1. Organisations (e.g., incorporated entities)
  2. Natural persons (i.e., individuals)

You selected '1 & 2'

Incorrect!

DPAs can be used for fraud, bribery and other economic crime. They apply to organisations, never individuals.

A DPA enables a corporate body to make full reparation for criminal behaviour without the collateral damage of a conviction, which could lead to reputational or other damage putting the company (i.e. Party X) at risk of losing business or damaging the jobs and investments of innocent people).
