Independent research institution
Research into risk, fraud and illicit finance.
Oxford Research studies political risk, fraud and money laundering: how they arise, how they spread, and how they can be detected and prevented.
About
The study of risk and financial crime.
We study where risk comes from and how money moves: the political exposure that shapes markets, the fraud that exploits weak oversight, and the networks that let illicit money pass unseen. We publish our findings and carry out research for those who have to act on them.
Research areas
Four fields, one standard of evidence.
-
01
Risk
How risk builds up across markets, institutions and counterparties, and how to measure it before it turns into loss.
-
02
Political risk
How governments, sanctions, regulation and politically exposed people shape the risks of doing business, and who is exposed to them.
-
03
Fraud
How frauds are built and run, who they target, and the patterns that give them away.
-
04
Money laundering
How illicit money is placed, layered and moved across institutions and borders, and the methods that hide where it ends up.
