In the fifth episode of the Compliance Clarified podcast Susannah Hammond is joined by Helen Chan and Todd Ehret to discuss the wide-ranging implications for financial services firms and their compliance officers arising from antitrust issues.

Antitrust rules and requirements around the world are all aimed at preventing anti-competitive behaviour and possible abuse of a dominant market position. Cases in Asia, the U.S. and Europe are all highlighted alongside other aspects including data, its use and possible abuse in a dominant market position and its emergence as a systemic risk in its own right. And then also concentration risk from both the use of the cloud and concentration of ownership.

As discussed in the podcast here are a couple of articles by Helen and Susannah:
