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.

BNP Paribas has been ordered by a U.S. judge to face a lawsuit accusing the bank of helping Sudan's government commit genocide between 1997 and 2011. The lawsuit alleges that BNP Paribas provided banking services that violated American sanctions, leading to human rights abuses such as murder, mass rape, and torture. The proposed class action was brought by U.S. residents who had fled non-Arab indigenous black African communities in Sudan. BNP Paribas had previously pleaded guilty and paid an $8.97bn penalty to settle U.S. charges of transferring billions of dollars for Sudanese, Iranian, and Cuban entities subject to economic sanctions. This is the first time a global bank has faced large-scale violations of U.S. economic sanctions. The judge dismissed claims for punitive damages, citing applicable Swiss law.

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has announced its new strategy to combat serious fraud, bribery, and corruption. The strategy focuses on prevention, the use of AI, greater covert intelligence, and whistleblowers. The SFO says it aims to be a proactive and authoritative player in the global and domestic justice system. Plans include a pilot program to cut financial crimes at the source, increasing incentives for corporate whistleblowers, and implementing a pre-trial disclosure system. However, some senior lawyers have questioned the strategy. Louise Hodges at Kingsley Napley said: "A big question mark for me is which type of organisation the SFO sees as its target. So far the investigations opened have involved relatively small and lesser-known businesses, some already in administration and a far cry from the global giants and High Street names that the SFO historically had in its sights."

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....
