Welcome to the Corporate Governance & Risk Forum

Wednesday 30 November 2011
Sofitel St James, London SW1

Legal Week's inaugural Corporate Governance & Risk Forum 2011 will bring corporate counsel, compliance and risk officers and ‘C-level' executives together to raise awareness of the changing face of GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) from a legal perspective. The core aim of the forum will be to instil an understanding of how a holistic approach to GRC is now required and how key departments must now appreciate the necessity for greater cooperation and communication between themselves in their approach to the implementation of GRC mechanisms.

Confirmed speakers include:
Stuart Weinstein, associate head, University of Hertfordshire School of Law
Peter Montagnon, senior investment adviser, Financial Reporting Council
Peter Giblin, visiting professor - faculty of management, Cass Business School
Lord David Gold, corporate monitor, BAE Systems
Anne Fletcher, compliance director, Royal Mail Group
David Brimacombe, senior advisor, Nestor Advisors
Keith Jackson, group chief risk officer, Bupa
Jan Eijsbouts, professor - Institute of Corporate Law, Governance and Innovation Policies, Maastricht University

Sessions include:

• What is Corporate Governance and Risk Management? Getting to workable definitions and measurement models that are simple enough for all to understand, broad enough to cover what they need to, but not so wide that they become meaningless
• Allocating roles and responsibilities: minimising conflicts in compliance issue lifecycles
• Human culture, linguistic and legal difference: managing consistent outcomes multi-nationally
• The role of reputation and brand management in corporate governance and risk management
• A review of the role of corporate social responsibility programmes and their impact beyond the obvious
• 5 CPD points (SRA accredited)
