The explosion of AI generates many new and uncertain risks, including cognitive atrophy and a loss in human agency and value in the workplace. As we face new challenges, we may need to find innovative solutions. This episode of ICA inCONVERSATION will consider one potential mitigation, the role of well-defined corporate values and core skills. ICA Vice President Tim Tyler joins Charlie Patrick to first unpack the cognitive risks that AI presents before exploring steps to mitigate them. Charli...
Global dynamics are shifting rapidly. The decline of the rules-based international order is weakening institutions like the UN and ICC, as nationalism gains ground. Traditional Western alliances are fracturing, giving way to unstable new power blocs. US tariff policy is redefining global trade, while emerging technologies are advancing at pace - bringing innovation but also uncertainty about long-term impact. ICA inCONVERSATION LIVE episodes in September will consider the volatility and compl...

In this episode of ICA inCONVERSATION, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler speaks with Paul Eccleson, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer, about the human traits that can lead to poor decision-making. From our tendency toward mental shortcuts and susceptibility to groupthink, to the influence of echo chambers and our reluctance to admit when we're wrong, the discussion will explore how these cognitive biases shape behaviour. Drawing on his background in psychology and artificial intelligence, Paul sh...
The UK Post Office Horizon Inquiry published its long-awaited report last week. A series of significant weaknesses are identified in the UK Post Office response to allegations of fraud. Also in the UK news this week is a report that the UK government is exploring options to curtail the automatic right to trial by jury when complex fraud is involved. The challenges involved in responding to fraud are of course experienced across the world and not just the UK. In this inConversation, ICA ...
In the next episode of ICA inCONVERSATION, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler will talk to Jonathan Bowdler, Global Lead, Postgraduate Qualifications, ICA, about principles of good governance. Our approach is often anchored in regulatory and legal requirements, but less formal good practice can be just as important. This is an opportunity to explore how this has evolved and the practicalities of implementing the provisions locally. Join us for what promises to be an engaging and timely conversation.
The global flow of criminal goods and assets continues to grow, presenting threat but also opportunity to those authorities charged with protecting our borders and wealth. In this event, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler will speak to Kevin Newe, an Assistant Director at HMRC, the UK's Customs authority, about the international nature of crime with particular focus on money laundering and fraud.
The art market is often seen as opaque, esoteric and under-regulated. The playground of the rich and, increasingly, criminal communities. FATF and the UNODC have linked art to financial crime, and particularly to money laundering and terrorist financing. But what is really going on behind the scenes in the galleries, auctioneers and dealers? In this episode, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler talks to Aisling T., Senior Financial Crime Manager at Monzo Bank, about the threat. Aisling has spent year...

We hope you can join Tim for this event that brings the series to an end.
In this episode, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler talks to Gaon Hart, Managing Director of Legal Advisory Worldwide, and Interim Chair of the NHS Counter Fraud Authority, continuing the theme of Compliance as an Enabler. This discussion will focus on three practical examples of how effective compliance can enable not only good, but profitable business activity.

"By far the greatest danger of artificial intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it." This quote by Eliezer Yudkowsky highlights a serious challenge as businesses rush to introduce significant and disruptive AI solutions. Does the compliance function have a role in supporting business acquisition of new technologies? How can we enable effective adoption while managing the risks and ensuring that wider compliance requirements such as culture, legal and regula...
Human trafficking causes profound suffering, violates human rights, drives organised crime, and undermines communities across the world. As compliance and anti-financial crime professionals, we have a unique opportunity to do something about this, whether by preventing the profits moving through our organisations, ensuring the integrity of our supply chain or raising awareness of how traffickers operate. In this inCONVERSATION episode, Tim Tyler talks to Neil Giles, Global Intelligence Amba...
In the context of escalating costs and fierce economic headwinds, the compliance profession is besieged. Senior politicians have common cause with business leaders in looking to reduce the regulatory burden to, in their minds, free up enterprise and reduce costs. US President Trump's action to pause the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is the latest example of this untested agenda, but by no means the only one. How can compliance professionals respond to this challenge? We believe there is compe...
Fraud presents a constant, pervasive threat that continues to mutate and evolve. New forms include the fraud-as-a-service model; the use of AI; synthetic identity and polymorphic approaches.

In this episode of ICA inCONVERSATION LIVE, Tim Tyler talks to Rosalind Dixon-Burnett, ICA's Global Lead for Governance Risk & Compliance about the impact current geopolitical, regulatory and technological developments will have on compliance over the next 12 months. US regulatory policy; an increasing EU regulatory burden; market and consumer protection; online safety; multi-polar sanctions requirements; the impact of AI and operational resilience are some of the topics they touch ...
Recovering the proceeds of crime disrupts the criminal business cycle, removes negative role models and reduces the incentive to commit serious crime. It is, however, challenging and time consuming. Criminal assets recovery levels are low, representing a tiny fraction of the overall criminal economy. In this episode of ICA inCONVERSATION, ICA Vice President Tim Tyler talks to Tristram Hicks, the author of The War on Dirty Money, and former head of Scotland Yard's asset recovery capability. Th...
Open source intelligence (OSINT) is vital in today’s interconnected world for gathering actionable insights from publicly available data.
