In this episode, Murray Raw and I discuss the basics of financial crime. Learn how companies are managing the risks associated with financial crime, the role that technology plays, and what preventative measures should be taken by organizations and individuals.  Murray is a cape-less superhero as he protects us all with insights to defend ourselves and our companies against fraudsters.

His very earlier career was as an insurance broker in Lloyds of London specialising in the oil and gas sector and the cargo market placing complex risks in the London market.  

This was followed by a move into technology sales working in the ERP and CRM markets selling enterprise-wide solutions covering accounting, distribution, manufacturing and sales into large organisations. The role covered the UK market as well as Europe, the United States and Sub-Saharan Africa. After this Murray worked for 10 years at one of the UK’s leading credit reference agencies covering consumer and commercial credit, fraud and ID sales into some of the country’s largest financial institutions.
