Join us for part two of our three-part webinar series, Reputation … Reputation … Reputation – The Three Faces of Contemporary Risk Management, where Kroll and NEDA will engage with experts and seasoned non-executive directors (NEDs) to discuss the current risk landscape and emerging threats/opportunities.

In part two of the series, Expecting the Unexpected… How Are Boards Dealing with the Risks and Threats They Face from Within, NEDA Chair Graham Durgan will lead a discussion with speakers from Kroll and the Institute of Business Ethics on the evolving corporate “wrongdoing” landscape and the increasing role of NEDs in overseeing an independent, internal investigation.
