Good governance principles and managing risk: nice to have or must-have?
The new strategic role of secretaries of the board
The debate in Bogota will bring together board secretaries and members at leading Colombian
and multinational companies to discuss challenges faced when implementing good governance
policies focused on mitigating risk.
10, November 2016, Bogota
The risks of technology might be well understood but research suggests that companies could improve
their protection guidelines and protocols to prevent risk as the greater danger could already be inside. The
consequences can be devastating, from disruption of day-to-day operations, to
reputational damage and loss of business.
Tackling these issues is not simple and, strategically, companies are expected to offer
guidelines from the top. Board members have to lead by example.
Time
10.00 am -11.30 am
Where:
Bogota
Our distinguished panel will discuss a number of concerns:
1. What are the biggest challenges for secretaries of the board in Colombia? What are
the best practices when setting out board meetings and procedures? What can we learn from the
international experience?
2. How can you better equip your board to prevent risks and communicate with key company
executives? Are boards or companies establishing clear objectives for compliance teams and risk
management? What are their profiles and structures?
3. Are internal protocols adequate to investigate suspicious activities (nationally and internationally)
and what should you do if you suspect a crime? What are the strategies in place to prevent
breaches and to protect privacy and data?
4. What resources can protect companies from being an easy target? Are the risks coming from
outside or inside?
