White-collar crimes and forensic investigations in key African jurisdictions
Loading player...
White collar crime in Africa is no longer a localised or purely compliance-driven issue. It is increasingly cross border, more complex, and more consequential for businesses operating across the continent.
In this episode of The Legal Lens, Lionel van Tonder, Garth Duncan and Brittany Leroni unpack how the landscape is evolving in practice — from the expansion of reporting obligations and enforcement trends to the realities of multi jurisdictional investigations, legal privilege, and whistleblower frameworks.
The discussion also explores a broader shift in approach. Compliance is no longer enough on its own. The focus is moving towards resilience — how organisations identify risk early, respond effectively, and navigate regulatory scrutiny with credibility.
This conversation coincides with the launch of our Guide to White Collar Crimes and Forensic Investigations in Key African Jurisdictions, developed with our relationship firms across the continent and grounded in real-world experience.
For businesses operating in Africa, the message is clear: white collar risk has become a strategic issue, and it needs to be managed accordingly.
