The Laundry

We talk a lot about the dark money that makes the criminal world turn — but what about the money paid to the people fighting it?For all the responsibility, the stress, the expertise, and the constant need to adapt, compliance professionals are right to ask whether they're being paid what they're worth.Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Quentin Downes, Divisional Director of Financial Crime, Compliance & Risk at Butler Rose, and Rebecca Robinson, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Tenora, to ask: "Are fincrime professionals paid enough?" The panel discuss what the market really pays right now, why so many roles feel stuck, training the next generation, and whether AI is about to rewrite salaries and job roles altogether.Producer: Matthew Dunne-MilesEditor: Dominic DelargyVideo: Loïs DunfordSubscribe to our newsletter, Fresh Laundry, here.____________________________________The Laundry connects anti-money laundering, compliance and financial crime to the real world — the headlines, the regulation behind them, and what non-compliance actually costs.Hosted by Marit Rødevand, Fredrik Riiser and Robin Lycka, each episode brings on practitioners from banking, fintech, regulators and investigative journalism to unpack what's actually happening in the industry.The Laundry is proudly produced by Strise – manual fincrime works ends now.Get in touch: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
