UK government agency tackling economic misconduct
A major UK government agency has transformed its economic misconduct investigations by adopting Clue to unify intelligence, strengthen security, and drive more proactive, data-led enforcement.
How we modernised economic misconduct investigations for a UK government agency
A UK government agency responsible for upholding UK market integrity has adopted Clue to enhance its intelligence and investigation operations. Operating across several regulatory and enforcement functions, the agency plays a key role in detecting financial irregularities, supporting vulnerable stakeholders, and escalating serious cases through formal processes to act and serve sanctions where appropriate.
As the landscape of economic misconduct becomes increasingly complex – with rising case volumes and sophisticated financial abuse – the agency identified the need for a unified, modern approach to intelligence-led investigations that could span both civil and regulatory pathways.
Key challenges before Clue
- A sharp increase in investigative demand following misuse of support schemes
- Disconnected systems and limited collaboration between operational units including intelligence and enforcement
- Sensitive case types requiring stricter access controls and better auditability
- Insufficient tools for identifying cross-case patterns or systemic misconduct
Now with Clue
- Operational units across intelligence and enforcement now work within a single, integrated platform – improving consistency, transparency, and responsiveness
- Sensitive investigations are kept secure with configurable access permissions and secure audit trails
- Embedded analytics and geospatial tools help proactively detect risk indicators and links across cases, supporting triage and prioritisation.
- Streamlined workflows support more effective coordination between regulatory, investigative, and escalation teams
- By adopting Clue, the agency is now better equipped to manage economic misconduct with greater agility, insight, and control – enabling faster, more informed action in an evolving financial crime landscape.
