Exam World Meets Business World
Paul Merison

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 Wirecard

In 2020, as Covid raged, a top 30 German listed company worth around $28bn called Wirecard suddenly went bust. It has now been concluded by most that half its revenues never happened. What happened? And what can students of accountancy or business learn from it to help progress their studies?

Listen as Paul Merison breaks down the reasons Wirecard failed, the clues that should have been spotted, and the failings of the auditors and of corporate governance - assisted by Dan McCrum, the Financial Times journalist who was at the centre of exposing the massive fraud.
