Welcome to our 2021-22 business plan - you can read the full business plan below.
Business PlansOur Economic Crime Strategy provides a high-level vision of where we want to be by 2025, helping to focus our work where it really matters. The strategy is supported by a commitment to ensure the right person is prosecuted for the right offence in a timely manner, that victims and witnesses are at the heart of our casework and that any proceeds of crime are recovered. It represents a clear articulation of the role that the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will play in contributing to improving criminal justice outcomes in economic crime.
