The Serious Fraud Office has published a progress report that shows its conviction rate remains high for the year - at more than 80%.

It says it is using innovative approaches to deliver justice for both the public and victims of economic crime.

It has halved the time it takes to investigate a case and, though the budget has reduced year on year over the past five years, the SFO is now dealing with more cases - over 100 compared to just over 60 five years ago.

SFO Director Richard Alderman said: 'All of this is being done at less expense to the public purse.'
