Fraud Matters is the podcast from the Fraud Advisory Panel that cuts through the complexity of fraud to help business owners, directors, and senior managers understand what they're really up against — and what to do about it.
Hosted by Guy Ruddle, each episode brings together leading legal experts, investigators, and practitioners to explore the fraud threats that affect businesses of every size. From supply chain fraud and corporate impersonation to insider threats and emerging digital risks, Fraud Matters takes you beyond the theory and into the real world, where fraud is varied, costly, and often closer to home than you'd think.
Whether you're a founder, a finance director, or a senior manager, this podcast will help you spot the warning signs, ask the right questions, and build the kind of culture and processes that make fraud harder to hide.
Prevention is always better than cure. Fraud Matters gives you the knowledge to start.
