Hi, my name is Adam Stewart, Debt Collection Expert and owner of Debt Recoveries Australia. Since forming a debt collection company many years ago, I have had the opportunity to meet many small and medium enterprises (SME’s) and company owners and see how they manage their accounts receivable internally. Some are good, some, not so good. I have seen some companies doing nothing to manage their receivables, and letting thousands of dollars written off as bad debt.

It’s a whole new world for lawyers; but, one thing hasn’t changed: there are still a lot of them.

One such emerging intersection is the advent of “loot boxes.” Borrowing their design from the gambling industry, loot boxes operate as a hybrid between slot machines and packs of trading cards.

When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place. Let’s step back and focus on the idea that no matter how complicated the compliance and security regime, it should be able to be distilled down to a checklist.
