“Never lose sight of your common sense. Always retain a common sense approach and obviously abide by the rules. Understand your risk appetite and be prepared to explain SOW to a third party.” – Graham Barrow
“Don’t just look for information that is consistent and congruous with what you have been told by the client, look for things that may be incongruous and wider and keep looking.” – Ray Blake
“Always use the widest set of data possible” – David Balson
