Is trust enough? All Too Familiar is a high-quality educational training film created by ICAEW in collaboration with HMRC which explores the degree of trust still placed in personal and professional relationships and whether enough scepticism is being used in the fight against economic crime.

This 35-minute film follows the story of two turbulent years in the life of a fictitious company called D-Merton and how it was brought to its knees by the actions of its executive directors, the lack of vigilance and courage by its board of directors and failure by the company’s auditors to identify and investigate red flag issues.

Can you sometimes get too close? Without Question is an audit-themed educational training film. It was created by ICAEW to highlight the challenges of directors, auditors and other professional advisers in seeking assurance on difficult issues. With a focus on effective communication, it explores hypothetical scenarios that encourage viewers to discuss issues and dilemmas they may face in their day-to-day working lives.
