Tom Burgis on Kleptopia - how dirty money is conquering the world

What are kleptocracies and how do they operate? How is dirty money laundered and why is it increasingly a global problem? These are the questions, my guest on this episode, Tom Burgis, sets out to answer in his book Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering The World.

Tom is an investigative journalist who writes for the Financial Times. In Kleptopia, he follows the trail left by a Compliance Officer, later turned regulator. What he discovers is an extraordinary tale of Human Risk, that impacts all of us. In our discussion, we explore how he came to explore the story and what lessons we can learn from it. If you work in Compliance, Regulation, Auditing or Law, you'll recognise some of the dynamics Tom is describing. Even if you don't, the impact of kleptocracy is significant for all of us.
