IBAC's podcast

IBAC Prevention and Communication Executive Director Linda Timothy speaks to Deputy Commissioner David Wolf about the Operation Clara special report in this podcast. They dive into the findings, the importance of ensuring lobbying activities are fair and transparent, why declaring conflicts of interest is imperative for members of government boards, and the recommendations from the special report.

We talk with Dr Anna Sergi, an international expert on organised crime, with a particular focus on the Italian mafias. Dr Sergi shares her insights on the corruption threats posed by organised crime and how the public sector might respond to these threats.

 Dr Anna Sergi holds a PhD in Sociology (2014), with specialisation in Criminology, from the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex. Her research specialism is in organised crime studies and comparative criminal justice. She has published extensively in renowned peer-review journals in criminology on topics related to Italian mafias both in Italy and abroad as well as on policing strategies against organised crime across states. 

Dr Russell Smith discusses the fascinating topic ‘Is there a typical fraudster?’ During the interview he provides some interesting insights into the common motivations behind committing fraud and what organisations can do to protect themselves from fraud.

We talk to Professor AJ Brown from Griffith University on the importance of blowing the whistle on corruption and misconduct.
