  • Informative but too political

    They do a good job keeping me up to date with current issues in the industry, but I don’t need to have the host’s political views pushed on me with snide comments & blatant bias every show.

  • Good info but too obviously political

    This could be a really great show with the wealth of knowledge and experience John has. However he can’t seem to separate himself from his obviously leftist ideologies and interject passive aggressive comments towards the other political party or opposing thoughts. I’m hear to learn about AML and better my knowledge, I don’t need your beliefs or agenda being pushed. Keep those to yourself. Real shame.

Monthly Chat with Sarah Beth Felix
Q: Can you give an example of how fraud is being treated by financial institutions?
Financial institutions typically tackle transactional fraud, which leads to operational losses, but they need to take a broader view of fraud trends, including those intricately tied to government programs.
Monthly Chat with Sarah Beth Felix
Q: What would that mean for the AML community based on your vast experience?
It could create an environment where financial institutions become reluctant to engage with certain types of clients, which may lead to further exclusion from financial services.
Monthly Chat with Sarah Beth Felix
Q: What do you think it is that you sort of just said that they feel they're being regulated?
They feel comfortable because they believe regulatory bodies are watching, but they're not proactive enough in asking essential questions to mitigate risks.

Q: What can be done by companies and their employees if their executive leadership doesn't show a commitment to third-party risk management?

Q: How should a company assess the risk level of third parties that are operating in high-corruption jurisdictions?
