All Too Familiar is an award-winning 16-minute training film which explores the degree of trust still placed in personal and professional relationships and whether trust is enough in the fight against economic crime. It aims to challenge mindsets and provoke discussion on the need for greater professional scepticism when faced with potential money laundering risks.

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.

Without Question focuses on the importance of professional scepticism and extends the scrutiny of behaviours to tax advisors as well as auditors. It probes issues such as reliance on experts, accounting estimates and confidentiality.
