South Africa is undoubtedly a success story, from its lush wine lands which produce world class wines, diamond mines producing gems sold all over the world, to the Kruger National Park, which is populated by big game and is a huge magnet for tourists. South Africa seems to have it all, so why is its leader getting it so wrong? And what effect could this have on how the country is perceived around the world?....More

This weekend sees the annual English FA Cup Final. It’s been previously reported that this football match can attract half a billion viewers from across the world. Chelsea won the English Premier League this season. This was widely lauded as being down to a switch to a 3-5-3 formation in the early autumn. Arsenal have often utilized 4-3-3 formation. The ‘3 lines’ seems to dovetail rather nicely with the ‘3 lines of defence’ mode (3LOD), which is widely used in regulated firms to provide a systematic approach to risk management. Let’s explore that a bit further so we can draw out the similarities.....More

Panama, Brazil, Afghanistan, China, Malaysia, Pakistan, Ukraine, Angola, South Africa. Examples of corruption cases abound beyond the limits of European geography. A cursory look at the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index shows plenty of low-ranking jurisdictions, many situated at a substantial distance from continental Europe. Does this mean that European companies, executives, regulators and prosecutors can sit back, head early for the beaches of the Mediterranean this summer and leave their international counterparts to manage these anti-corruption risks far from Madrid, Paris, Rome and other EU capitals? Clearly, the answer is ‘no’.....More

In January this year, the Office for National Statistics released its latest Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW).

This survey - which covers October 2015 to September 2016 – includes for the first time the offences of fraud and computer misuse (also known as cybercrime). Although the CSEW is unable to compare the results for fraud and cybercrime to previous years, the figures are still pretty staggering.....More
