Overview (Program Summary)
A program hosted by:
ACC AustraliaEveryone knows that scrutiny on company leaders has intensified incredibly over the past 18 months and a focus on governance, culture and accountability frameworks has never been more critical.
This landscape means that directors and senior executives are being challenged to examine behaviours and rethink the way they approach decision-making. This seminar, presented by Gilbert + Tobin’s Corporate Advisory and Disputes + Investigations teams, will explore;
• competing theories on the role of Boards in the current climate;
• change which has been prompted by both the Financial Services Royal Commission and the COVID-19 pandemic;
• recent high-profile examples where non-financial risks including community expectations have not been adequately managed, resulting in poor outcomes for the company and its senior executives;
• engaging with active regulators;
• class actions risk; and
• providing legal (and strategic) advice to Boards in the context of this background.
Lunch and networking: 12:30-1pm
Presentation: 1-2pm
