Governance Risk and Compliance Conference

Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) are the principal drivers of organisational compliance. With new regulations and laws being incorporated every year, organisations are forced to rethink the way in which they manage their information and data.

The general consensus is that South African companies, outside of heavily regulated industries such as telecoms, pharmaceuticals and financial services, are not keeping up with the latest international best practices in GRC and especially in IT governance. The market is lagging; many organisations don't have a grip on the intrinsic value of their information and IT systems.

The conference consists of 16 speakers and a half day workshop. The half day workshop looks at how risk, compliance, the law corporate governance and ethics all fit together.

As a key note speaker Themba Mthethwa, Chief Executive Officer, Public Protector South Africa will be addressing a case study on establishing and embedding a compliance culture.

He joins speakers such as Bernard Agulhas, Chief Executive Officer, Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA); Gary Hardy, Director, IT Winners; Stephan Sadie, Chief Executive Officer, Chartered Secretaries Southern Africa; Richard Rhoda, Director, LDP Consulting; Ugan Naidoo, Managing Director- CA Security, CA Southern Africa and many other top speakers.

Trade Conferences International invites all professionals dealing with compliance, risk, governance, IT, security, finance, vendor management, supply chain, human resources, procurement, asset management.

Ryno van Ellewee, MD of Trade Conferences International said " any organisation that wishes to be successful with their GRC initiatives should ensure that their GRC principles are lived out on a daily basis so as to become a way of life "

This conference aims to educate, inform and motivate all delegates who will be attending. It will reinstill what you already know, trigger off that which still needs to be addressed and birth new ideologies.
