November 30th marked exactly a year since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Since then we’ve seen: a record 1 million users in just five days, now more than 180 million active users across the globe, and their first product has already become a verb! 

This is a faster explosion than anything we’ve seen since the dot com boom and – despite boardroom fallouts and high profile firings and re-hirings – the company has changed the landscape when it comes to generative AI. 

This isn’t a fad, it isn’t going away, and it’s going to alter financial crime and the fight against it in so many ways.

In this week's episode – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by John Davidson, Director, Ernst & Young LLP (known as EY)

They discuss the rise of generative AI impacting the compliance industry, the supercharged threats that ChatGPT creates in financial crime, and how AML and Compliance professionals prepare for the future.

Following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia became the most-sanctioned country in the world – with more than 14,000 sanctions currently in place. 

Despite this, the intricate and undisclosed relationships between the Russian nationals and European businesses remain intact and active.

This is best demonstrated by the story we’re focussing on today: a French businessman allegedly putting specialist microchips into the hands of the Russian military through a complex chain of transactions. 

In this week's episode – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Financial Times journalists Max Seddon and Chris Cook.

The panel discuss: what Russia is smuggling from Europe, how these trades continue to operate amid heavy sanctions, and the real world consequences of these shady business deals.

Due Diligence, Enhanced Due Diligence, Ongoing Due Diligence, Know Your Customer, and Know Your Business – if you’re reading this then you’re more than likely familiar with these terms.

These due diligence basics have huge consequences from everything from company reputation, onboarding speed, generating revenue, to stopping financial crime in its tracks. 

In this week's episode – our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Jaypee Soule, Head of Second Line Compliance at Pensionbee, and Heili Veskimeister, Head of EU Compliance and MLRO at Lightyear.

You receive a call.

Your account has been compromised – you need to move all your funds to a different secure account. 

The person on the other end is from "your bank" and ready to "help you out" - if you just give them all your banking information. 

We’ve all seen this situation play out – whether to ourselves, family members, or friends.

The scam call is a universal problem - with  $10 billion stolen from senior citizens in the US in 2022 and 45 million UK citizens receiving texts or calls in the space of three months. 

So can this hugely lucrative scam industry be stopped? 

In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Neira Jones, Consultant and Panel Member of the Payment Systems Regulator, and Veronica Glab, Head of Partnerships at Innovate Finance.

The panel discuss: the issue of scam calls and texts for financial services of all kinds, the biggest challenges in tackling this issue, and whether we can ever truly kill the scam call.

If you’ve picked up a British newspaper, switched on the TV, logged on to social media, or attended a political party conference – there is one word you will have come across again and again…. 

De-Banked! 

British politicians and media figures are in uproar about bank accounts being shut down or applications being rejected - reportedly due to political connections and beliefs.

The term ‘politically exposed persons’ – previously only known to compliance nerds – has suddenly become a mainstream talking point.

In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Phil Coole, MRLO and Head of Compliance at OakNorth Bank, and James Nurse, Managing Director at Fintrail.

The panel discuss: what is a politically exposed person in 2023, whether political views matter, and the real world consequences of not getting this right.

With over 130 bomb attacks, a record numbers of shootings, and a criminal network estimated to include over 30,000 individuals – Sweden is in the grip of an organised gang crime problem like it’s never seen before. 

The magnitude of this issue became global news when Sweden’s Prime Minister called on the military to take to the streets and help combat the violence.

In this podcast, we're moving the lens away from the violence on the streets - and looking behind the scenes - to the flow of money which fuels it. 

In this week's episode – our host, Fredrik Riiser, is joined by Jörgen Holmlund, Lecturer in Intelligence Analysis at the Swedish Defence University, as well as Viveka Strangert, Independent Consultant and Speaker.

They discuss the current issues, the connections to money laundering, and the techniques to combat it.

Let’s face it. When it comes to money laundering – the UK is a serious player! 

If money laundering was an olympic sport – research suggests that the UK would be on the podium with a silver medial – only trumped by Team USA!

In this week's episode – our host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Dame Margaret Hodge, Member of Parliament for Barking.

They discuss the Economic Crime Bill, the potential impact on the UK, and how political power can help fight financial crime.
