Investigating Wirecard and other financial scandals

As Investigations Editor of the Financial Times, one of Paul Murphy's most notable successes was his involvement in exposing the Wirecard scandal, which subsequently became the subject of a Netflix documentary. But amid recent market turmoil, he is expecting his team to be kept busy over the coming months and years.

Paul sat down with Richard Hunter on the interactive investor YouTube channel to talk about how they uncover financial scandals, their preparation for inevitable backlash, and the impact their work has had on the culture of investigative reporting.
