We’ve had a number of queries over the last month or so about the provision of online training to cover the Criminal Finances Act 2017 (CFA), and the new Corporate Criminal Offence (CCO). BUFDG is now planning to produce a short CFA e-learning module that will be available by the end of March on the BUFDG website. This will introduce the Act and the CCO, with the intention of bringing non-specialist staff up to speed, to help satisfy the ‘training’ element of a HE organisation’s obligations under the CFA. However, each institution will need to make their own decision about whether or not this meets their needs, and about any other steps they may need to take.
We’ve installed new e-learning software on our system, and we’ll be approaching some users and universities to help us test it by the end of February. If we can then roll it out before the end of March then we will do. This will be a free module, at least to begin with. However, introducing a small charge will be considered in future as part of the broader roll-out of BUDFG e-learning. If you have any questions about any of the above, please drop Matt an email.
