NED Webcast – Corporate Reputation - Part 1: External Threats

March 22, 2021 | (Online)
Webcast , Countries

In partnership with NEDA.

Join us for our three-part webcast series: Reputation, Reputation, Reputation – The Three Faces of Contemporary Risk Management, where Kroll and NEDA will be joined by a range of experts and seasoned Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) to discuss the current risk landscape and emerging threats/opportunities.

Reputation is everything, and as we contemplate life beyond COVID-19 crisis management, Kroll executives have been considering a range of contemporaneous risks that should be on every board’s agenda and how failure to consider them can impact a company’s corporate reputation. 

Relevant risks, in a material sense, are broadening in scope, and shareholders want much more discussion initially, with both the key executives (the CEO/Financial Director) and with the NEDs. However, there is often a perception that day-to-day controls executed by executive management are in place, when in fact, the controls are not tested and when a crisis hits unexpectedly, they prove to be inadequate.

In our first webcast, External Threats, led by NEDA Chair Graham Durgan, speakers from Infinite Global, a Portfolio NED and Kroll will share recent insights and experience.
