Welcome to the inaugural episode of Registries Revealed, a new podcast series which deep dives into the complex world of company registers. Across ten episodes, our host, Steve Lamb, COO of Kyckr, will investigate the national registers in ten global financial centres, accompanied by local experts from each region.

Get ready for insightful discussion and expert analysis that explores key topics relevant to Financial Crime, including: 

• ​The legal framework that underpins each register
• ​The register’s usefulness as a tool for Financial Crime and AML teams 
• ​What data and filings are open to the public 
• ​Whether the data can be relied upon for KYC 

In the first episode of Registries Revealed, Steve is joined by Graham Barrow, host of The Dark Money Files podcast and director of RiskAlert247 to discuss the UK’s Companies House. Together, they attempt to answer key questions including: 

• ​Does the UK deserve plaudits for having an open UBO register? 
• ​Are the UK’s company registration rules being exploited by criminals? 
• ​Is the latest ‘Strategic Intelligence Assessment’ as shocking as it initially appears? 
• ​Can additional sources be used to improve verification of UK companies?
