Corporate Compliance Corner: The Continuing Transformation of Ethics and Compliance
Monday, 11 December 2023 | 2pm to 5 pm
London Stock Exchange Group, One Raffles Quay, #28-01, Singapore 048583, The Auditorium
The landscape of ethics and compliance is undergoing rapid transformation. Recent developments have increased the vulnerability of corporations to risks they may not be fully cognizant of. While the business sector has long grappled with issues of bribery and corruption, companies have successfully implemented measures and policies to mitigate these known risks. However, the most pressing concerns now lie in uncharted territory—hidden risks that corporations are ill-equipped to manage. For instance, manufacturing companies are unexpectedly facing challenges like child labour and slavery, incurring substantial costs not only in fines but also in the extensive efforts required to rebuild their tarnished reputation, amounting to millions.
Join us for our in-person event and hear how our guests—all of them accomplished ethics and compliance leaders—have stayed true to course amid significant challenges especially in the areas of sanctions, bribery, fraud, and scams. They will also discuss how organisational values are foundational to mitigating risk and how building a culture of ethics and compliance is paramount for organisational resilience.
