About
The Suspicious Transaction Report is a fortnightly podcast hosted by the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at RUSI. The podcast is formed of two sections. Firstly, there is an informative round up of the latest financial crime news discussed by the host and two guest contributors. Guests will give their perspective on why the latest news matters, pointing to long-term trends and what these could mean for different stakeholders. The second half of the podcast will deep-dive into a new piece of financial crime research. This one-to-one interview between the host and lead researcher will offer “behind-the-scenes” insights and practical advice on how to implement the latest financial crime research in the real world.
