In this episode we travel across the pond to chat with
internationally renowned forensic accountant and author Steven
Clapham. Steven talks to us about life as a sell-side analyst,
his due diligence work when vetting a company, and his book “The
Smart Money Method.”


When he’s not providing research for private clients, Stephen is
educating the next generation of analysts with his online
investment research and analysis training course - Behind the
Balance Sheet.


Sit back, have a drink, and enjoy a conversation with Dan and The
Pack as they swap stories with award-winning forensic accountant
Stephen Clapham.
