Advantage through good governance and effective assurance

Companies do not operate in a perfect world. Legal, regulatory and ethical challenges are part of the everyday running of a business. Good governance and a strong compliance management system are crucial competitive advantages: not only business partners but also customers and employees want to deal only with ethically and legally flawless enterprises. The topics of governance and compliance therefore have to be treated as top business priorities. They need to be incorporated into every decision, from strategy to the remuneration system, and be part of a corporate culture that is genuinely practised. What principles, values, codes of conduct, structures, risk processes and control systems have to be embedded? We aim to enter into the joint discussion and make it this event's goal to obtain a checklist that reveals how good governance and effective compliance are put in place and how they lead to sustainable corporate profitability.
