Course Description

Rising geopolitical tensions, a slowing global economy and perpetrators that are smarter and one step ahead of traditional fraud schemes means that Boards need to expect the unexpected when it comes to economic crime. Against a backdrop of high-profile bribery, sanctions, money laundering, and fraud cases in Singapore and the APAC region, governance practices are not only scrutinised by regulators but also courts and the general public. 

 

Championed by ISCA Corporate Governance & Risk Management Committee, this panel will discuss what inquiries Directors should make and the corporate governance required to mitigate the risks of a crisis unfolding with economic crime.
