Shell Game: Exposing Shell Companies, Sanctions Evasions and Other Risks, with Ted Datta of Moody’s

BCG on Compliance

As the geopolitical landscape continues to shift dramatically, risk management practices need to evolve as well. Ted Datta knows this all too well. As Head of Financial Crime Practice at Moody's Analytics, he's focused on using data to unravel layers of ownership and help spot sanctions evasion, discover human rights risks, combat money laundering, and strengthen compliance practices overall.

In this episode, Ted takes us through some of Moody's data tools, including their comprehensive shell company indicator, and the seven indicators that drive it. He also shares what businesses need to do to up their anti-financial crime game in these very rapidly changing times.
