True crime podcasts about murder and disappearances might dominate the charts, but for accounting professionals, nothing beats a juicy financial crime story.

Here are four podcasts to add to your playlist.

1. The Dark Money Files

‘Dark money’ – financial crimes such as money laundering, corruption, bribery and tax evasion – has a significant impact on global financial systems. That’s the key message conveyed in this podcast hosted by UK-based financial crime experts Graham Barrow and Ray Blake, who advise banks, regulators, tech providers, NGOs and others on how to strengthen their defences against criminal threats. Past episodes have covered topics including inheritance theft, tools for detecting money mule accounts, and proliferation financing.

2. Bribe, Swindle or Steal

This weekly Canadian podcast studies an assortment of financial crimes, including bribery, fraud, money laundering, insider trading and sanctions. Host Alexandra Wrage, president of TRACE – a not-for-profit focused on anti-bribery, compliance and good governance – speaks with guests about how white-collar crime works and what’s being done to combat it. The show tackles complex, hard-hitting topics, from the assassination of investigative journalists to cases of electoral interference.

3. Scams, Money, & Murder

If you’re after salacious crime stories, this podcast delivers. Host Nicole Lapin delves into headline-making cases, spotlighting what she calls the “sleaziest, scummiest and most corrupt financial criminals the world has to offer” – think Jordan Belfort (The Wolf of Wall Street), Belle Gibson and Anna Delvey – con artists, scammers and sometimes even murderers. Lapin unpacks each case in detail, often featuring interviews with experts involved in the investigations and victims who lived through them.

4. Tax Crime Junkies

This podcast offers an inside look at some of the most fascinating tax-related crimes committed in the US, covering everything from leadership corruption and Ponzi schemes to life insurance fraud. Hosts Dom and Tom are tax experts and practitioners who dive deep into the specifics of each case and speak to legal professionals, investigators and sometimes even the criminals themselves. The hosts also use each case to highlight the importance of tax compliance and help business owners avoid costly mistakes.
