Illegal Wildlife Trade

Compliance Time

Guest of the podcast is Elliott Turner - a compliance professional, based in South Africa, with a passion for wildlife and the natural world. He spent the last 13 years guiding, advising and supporting top tier firms in the Banking, Investment Management and FinTech industries.
His passion for wildlife and the natural world, has given him the opportunity to help raise awareness of the Illegal Wildlife Trade, which included putting together a webinar series entitled “Wildlife Crime is Financial Crime” with Navigate Compliance and the International Compliance Association (ICA). In this episode we discuss the webinar series, and IWT as an issue, including red flags, statistics, prominent themes and how financial compliance professionals can help to deter and disrupt IWT.
