Evening Discussion: The Global Board
The Global Board: realisitc challenge or unreleastic expectation?
The complexities of cross-border operations make staying on top of the risks particularly challenging to directors, both non-executive and executive alike – as recent events have shown. Meanwhile, regulators and investors demand much clearer communication of how those risks are managed.
Independent Audit and Thomson Reuters, welcomes CEO’s, chairmen, board members and senior legal and audit executives to this invitation only, Chatham House Rule debate on 14 November at The Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City of London. The debate will consider questions such as
- How do you rely on risk management in operations with different cultural norms and expectations?
- How do you deal with the special problems posed by joint ventures in emerging markets?
- How do you ensure compliance with home country legal requirements far from home?
- And how do you determine what is meaningful and sufficient reporting?
