Moody’s Talks: Risk Reframed episodes

  • Moody's x Everstream Analytics

    Supply chain disruptions can quickly put revenue, customer commitments, and business continuity at risk. Scenario planning may help organizations move beyond identifying threats to preparing clear, actionable responses before disruption strikes.

    In this episode, Corey Rhodes, CEO of Everstream Analytics, joins host Alex Pillow to explore how organizations can prioritize supply chain scenarios, monitor critical risk signals, and build practical playbooks that support faster, better-informed decisions.

    Key topics include:

    • How revenue at risk, product margin, and customer criticality can guide scenario prioritization
    • The data and visibility needed to understand critical suppliers, components, logistics routes, and multi-tier dependencies
    • How triggers such as physical disruption, supplier financial distress, labor unrest, and transportation issues can activate response playbooks
    • How early warning signals can help organizations act proactively, secure alternative supply, and communicate potential delays
    • The role of AI, knowledge graphs, and connected internal and external data in mapping dependencies and supporting scenario decisions

  • Moody’s x Trustpair: Payment fraud

    Procure-to-pay fraud can redirect legitimate supplier payments into fraudulent bank accounts by exploiting weaknesses across onboarding, vendor management, and payment processes. As AI makes impersonation and document forgery more convincing, organizations may need stronger, connected controls across the supplier lifecycle.

    In this episode, Tom Abbey, UK & IE Country Manager at Trustpair, joins host Alex Pillow to discuss how procure-to-pay fraud often works, where traditional controls fall short, and how continuous digital verification can help organizations protect supplier payments.

    Key topics include:

    • How fraudsters divert genuine supplier payments to fraudulent bank accounts
    • Why supplier onboarding and bank-detail change requests are particularly vulnerable
    • Business email compromise, synthetic identities, deepfakes, and AI-generated documents
    • The limitations of callbacks, bank statements, and other manual verification methods
    • The importance of checking suppliers at multiple points throughout the payment lifecycle
