I value your emails to keep me abreast of various significant events that are happening in the US and abroad. The summarization of these events are always fact based, unbiased politically, and straightforward.
Also, you always provide information that isn’t “front page” stories, but in themselves are more significant than what is provided via mainstream media.
We consult for Financial Services firms so I need to understand what keeps my clients awake at night. And we're a design company, so I’m always on the hunt for broken things that need fixing.I get both of those things from Risk Channel. Stories about regulation and compliance are most relevant but the wider themes help to paint a picture.
Risk Channel reliably gives me something new to think about and explore. It is relevant and digestible. That’s all it needs to do and it does it well.
I read Risk Channel on a daily basis. I like Risk Channel because it compiles all the major news stories and provides links to the primary sources in a concise format and convenient medium.
My time is limited and Risk Channel is super convenient because I can spend 5 minutes (or less if I’m just skimming) and read a single email to catch up on all the major articles of the day, and if I want, jump directly to a main article to get a more in-depth read.
I really like the daily Risk Channel as it gives me a glimpse on what is happening in the risk world, helps me stay informed and prompts me to think if the same type of risk can emerge in my company.
The content is easy to go through and to the point. It takes me less than a few minutes to review and if I need to look further in any one story the source is right there for me to go to the full details.

U.S. regulators have appointed two separate independent compliance monitors to ensure cryptocurrency exchange Binance meets the requirements set forth in its settlements over money-laundering and sanctions violations. The U.S. Justice Department has chosen Frances McLeod, a founding partner at forensic consulting firm Forensic Risk Alliance, as a monitor for three years, while the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network has selected Sharon Cohen Levin, a partner at law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, to serve as its monitor for five years. A Binance spokesperson said the company is looking forward to working with the monitors and has “staffed a dedicated monitor liaison office to ensure seamless and efficient operations.”

A study by the Audit Reform Lab, a research centre at the University of Sheffield, has found that audit firms failed to issue warnings before three out of four major UK corporate collapses since 2010. The research looked at 250 stock market listed companies liquidated between 2010 and 2022 and found that auditors failed to include a material uncertainty notice in about 75% of cases. EY warned of going concern risks for just 20% of companies that subsequently collapsed. PwC provided warnings in 23% of cases, Deloitte 36% and KPMG 38%. Smaller auditors performed even worse, delivering warnings in only 17% of collapses. Professor Adam Leaver, the Audit Reform Lab director, said auditors are failing to show independent judgement or professional scepticism, with the sector “plagued by poor standards, a toothless regulator, conflicts of interests and weak sanctions for malpractice.” The Audit Reform Lab said penalties issued by the Financial Reporting Council were too small to “materially affect partner pay - providing an insufficient deterrent and enabling firms to continue to be rewarded for failure.” The report added: “Until the culture of audit is reformed and a new and more effective regulator is in place, partners at audit firms will continue to reap huge financial rewards, despite continued audit failures that harm business confidence and our economy more widely.”

New Broom at S.E.C
In the closing days of the 1960s, a boy walks quickly along the sidewalk as he follows his father striding purposefully in and out of the smoky roadside bars and diners of Baltimore. His father enters an establishment, a tired neon light flashing, and exchanges words with the bar-tender as the boy hops up onto a stool. It is a well-rehearsed routine....
