Episode 12
In 2013 Danske Bank executives started to examine,rather more critically, the lucrative bond sale business in Estonia. We look at the reporting and decision making process at the start of that journey and wonder whether, in hindsight, they might have chosen to have done things differently. We also discus the risks of doing business with unregulated intermediaries (HINT: They are very high!).
The ultimate outcome of those initial investigations is really rather surprising.
