The Fraud Files EP8: Supply chain risks

This episode brings together our CC&I and ESG teams to consider supply chain risks, both in the context of failure to prevent fraud and of broader sustainability issues. Elizabeth Head, Kate Meakin and Rebecca Chin discuss whether suppliers are associated persons for the purposes of failure to prevent fraud, increased international expectations and requirements around human rights and environmental due diligence on supply chains, and the steps that companies can consider taking to address these risks.
