The Third Wheel Podcast (ESG In Australia): Episode 28 - Black letter law goes blurry
Show Notes

In this episode, Tim Stutt speaks with partner Bryony Adams and senior associate Stephanie Crosbie for a discussion about financial crime and the governance and reputational risk exposures from regulatory non-compliance. The heat is on for boards, with the scale and penalties for money laundering being one of the fastest growing ESG areas. Our team unpack regulator expectations and what this means for directors in terms of getting across the risks, implementing a compliant and risk-based Anti-Money Laundering program and associated training, and importantly – setting a risk culture or “tone from the top”.
