Uncertainty, Fraud and Knowledge Gaps

In this episode, we unpack how uncertainty, data gaps, and fragmented intelligence are creating new opportunities for financial crime, fraud, and environmental exploitation across global markets. Joining the conversation is Emily Hsu, Financial and Environmental Crime Researcher, who explores how weak governance, limited transparency, and uneven access to information allow criminal networks to operate across borders — from illicit supply chains and environmental crime to financial fraud and organised criminal activity. The discussion examines how criminals exploit: Knowledge gaps in high-risk jurisdictions Weak regulatory enforcement and oversight Complex global supply chains Limited data sharing between public and private sectors We also explore why financial institutions, regulators, and compliance teams must rethink traditional risk assessments — moving beyond static checklists towards intelligence-led, context-driven analysis that reflects real-world risk.
