In this conversation, Dean Elwood speaks with Tracey McDermott, former Acting Chief Executive of the Financial Conduct Authority and former Chief Compliance Officer at Standard Chartered.
Drawing on her experience on both sides of the regulatory divide, Tracey reflects on how misconduct emerges inside financial institutions, what regulators look for when things go wrong, and how banks can build stronger cultures of accountability.
The discussion covers the mortgage endowment scandal, LIBOR, the challenge of rebuilding trust in financial regulation, and the evolving role of compliance as data and AI reshape the industry.
