Managing integrity risks and compliance programs - A challenge and an opportunity Virtual Workshop

The session will examine some of the key challenges facing risk professionals in driving an organisation’s integrity agenda in today’s rapidly evolving legal and regulatory market. These challenges are startingly apparent in the Australia and New Zealand findings from the EY Global Integrity Report 2022, which this year includes insights from more than 4,700 respondents.

Investment in integrity and compliance programmes has rightly improved in recent years, as organisations have recognised the risks associated with data protection, cyber-attacks and whistleblower regulations. However, a clear gap is apparent between management rhetoric and reality when it comes to the effectiveness of these programs (the “say-do” gap), which has undeniably been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. More work is required in educating employees and leaders about the critical importance of integrity, beyond compliance with rules and regulations.

It will highlight key areas of concern, supported by recent data and on-the-ground experiences of the presenters. It will also outline best practices and recommendations to help organisations strengthen compliance programs and manage integrity risks.

Examples of features:

• High-profile speakers
• The event will be recorded and emailed to all attendee’s

Participants will be able to understand:

• The major issues that have had a significant impact on organisational integrity and heightened risks, including from the pandemic
• The danger of box-ticking when it comes to compliance risks, while ignoring the more important ambition of creating a culture which supports ethical decision making
• The opportunity we have to close the ’say-do’ gap through taking practical steps that will help organisations minimise external threats and protect value.
