  Jan 27, 202631 minS6

Indeed, one of the more widely recognized red flags in efforts to identify fraud risk is that of a disenfranchised employee, often a subset of the low performer pool. </p> <p>But what if I told you that the opposite may be true and it's high performers who pose a disproportionate amount of organizational risk?</p>

  Nov 11, 202537 minS5

  <p>I think for a lot of us, when we think about crypto, it still makes us cringe a little bit. And the question and the topic of today's episode is, should it still make us cringe? </p> <p>Whether you're a fan or you're shying away from it, the crypto ecosystem is expanding rapidly.
