Exam World Meets Business World

When I was studying business and accounting, my tutors told my class to read the Financial Times and The Economist, in order to immerse ourselves in business understanding. Many of us gave it a go, but we struggled to know which articles were relevant, and how they linked to our studies. Of course, that was because the FT and The Economist are not written for a student audience. Around 15 years ago I published my own newspaper for my students, taking the news and retelling it with a focus on the link to their studies. Now, finally, the newspaper has become a podcast. Enjoy!

Exam World Meets FTX

In November 2022, a company many will not have heard of called FTX went bankrupt, despite having recently been valued at $32billion. Throw in the words crypto, fraud, tech geeks and the Bahamas ... and it starts to get people's interest up.

But this story is about some really important professional business exam areas, such as corporate governance, audit, accounting, risk management, internal controls, business law - so it provides a fabulous opportunity to improve business understanding for those sitting business and accounting qualifications.

In this episode I get under the skin of the story, ignore the mop-haired tech genius (ahem) at the centre of things, and look for the exam world story students need.
