The paper asserted that serious and organised crime costs the UK more than £24 billion a year. In the context of anti-corruption, the paper acknowledged that there was a need to not only target serious and organised criminals but also support those who seek to help identify and disrupt serious and organised criminality.

Three UK agencies, the [[Department for Business, Innovation and Skills]], the [[Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom)|Ministry of Justice]] and the [[Home Office]], were tasked with considering the case for a US-style False Claims Act in the UK.<ref name=SeriousPlan/> In July 2014, the [[Financial Conduct Authority]] and the Bank of England [[Prudential Regulation Authority (United Kingdom)|Prudential Regulation Authority]] recommended Parliament enact strong measures to encourage and protect whistleblowers, but without offering whistleblower rewards, rejecting the US model.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.fca.org.uk/publication/financial-incentives-for-whistleblowers.pdf|title=Financial Incentives for Whistleblowers|date=July 2014|website=Financial Conduct Authority UK}}</ref>
