I have been a compliance professional for 6 years but have still found this podcast invaluable, particularly as a supplement to my ICA diploma studies. Very interesting and helpful for my job and studies.
Amazing work as always. I really love the step by step deductive reasoning. The light sarcasm is also great :)
Great episode, banks get fined and society pays the price. This conversational podcast leads the ordinary listener to understand why.
Great podcast. Good point raised about the two Whistleblowers. Personally anyone still working in the industry, the current laws are flawed.
Great podcast! I've discovered it about a week ago (although I knew Graham Barrow's blog due to some search about mysterious mr. Moulaye :) and I've already listened to all episodes and can't wait for new ones.
These guys are great. Solidly entertaining, but more importantly, sharing topical, timley, and important information. Certainly using some of the concepts here in my day job!
