Six years ago, Crowe Casts launched with The FraudCast, a podcast dedicated to exploring the evolving world of fraud and financial crime. As we relaunch the series, Daniel Sibthorpe, Director in Crowe's Cyber Security and Counter Fraud team, hosts this special episode and welcomes back the podcast's original presenter, Jim Gee, Cybercrime and Count Fraud expert.

Together, they reflect on how the fraud landscape has transformed over the past six years, from the rise of cyber-enabled crime and increasingly sophisticated scams to the emergence of AI-driven threats. Drawing on their extensive experience, Dan and Jim explore the key developments that have shaped fraud risk, the lessons organisations can learn from the past, and what businesses should be watching out for in the future.

As regulatory focus on third-party risk continues to grow, organisations face increasing pressure to strengthen their oversight of suppliers and partners. In this episode, Daniel Spreckley, Keegan Gwendu and Rita Machado explore the state of TPRM today, with a particular focus on the insurance sector, discussing what's holding organisations back and the practical steps firms can take to strengthen their approach.
