Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 6 - Balancing Risk, Resources and Tech in Law Firms
Q: You're curious, what's prompted the switch in 2020 to risk and compliance?
Eloise explains burnout and a shift from family law to risk and compliance as a natural pivot that opened up opportunities to apply practical risk mitigation in a regulatory context.
Episode 8 - Why Compliance Systems Fail - with Christian Hunt
Q: Training is often designed to be easy to roll out and demonstrate compliance, but why does that approach fail, and what should training focus on instead?
The guest argues that training must move beyond box-ticking and focus on practical skills, context, and relevance to the employee's real job, reducing cognitive load and ensuring learning translates into behavior.
Episode 8 - Why Compliance Systems Fail - with Christian Hunt
Q: For anyone who might not be familiar with your work, could you tell us a little bit about your journey and how you ended up specializing in something as fascinating as human risk?
Christian explains his path from banking and regulation into applying behavioral science to compliance, emphasizing the shift from seeing compliance as a rules problem to viewing it as a people problem and designing systems that work with how humans actually behave.
Episode 9 - A Case Study on Onboarding Corporate Clients
Q: What should a firm do when ownership and control are obscured by offshore structures or trusts?
Continue with reasonable measures to identify ownership and control, seek primary evidence where possible (e.g., notarized incorporation docs for offshore entities), and document steps taken; if identification remains impossible, assess whether to proceed with caution under the risk framework and regulatory guidance.
Episode 9 - A Case Study on Onboarding Corporate Clients
Q: Why can't firms rely solely on Companies House for verification of UK entities, and what is the proper way to use such data?
Regulation 28.9 prohibits relying only on the PSC registry; however, other documents like incorporation papers and confirmation statements can be relied upon. Companies House is a directory, not a regulator with uniform data standards, so use its data as support and obtain independent verification where possible.
