Corporate Risk Management India 2010

“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.”

- John F. Kennedy

We, at The Ideas Exchange understood Corporate India’s need to stay updated with changing work realities as it faces an increased susceptibility to corporate espionage, fraud, terrorism and politically motivated controversies that hog headlines and put the very foundation and reputation of companies at risk.

The Corporate Risk Management and Compliance Congress was designed, after months of extensive research, keeping corporate India’s risk, compliance and fraud prevention challenges and information needs in mind and provided attendees with strategies on how to:

• Redefine intelligence and the scope of compliance
• Be diligent while confronting changing business realities
• Break down the interplay of risk, compliance and governance
• Optimise internal fraud controls and strengthening integrity within your business
• Leverage CSR and ethical compliance for competitive advantage
• Recapitulate the role of today’s risk manager
