Risk and reward in a challenging global environment

Print

While investment opportunities in today’s global business world are continuously growing so are the risks related to operating in unfamiliar markets.

Stricter regulation, political and social unrest and reputational concerns are just some of the challenges businesses are faced with when operating internationally. This event will highlight key risk factors and how to make informed business decisions even in remote jurisdictions. Our speakers will examine topics such as;

• Why it matters to know the countries and counterparties you are dealing with
• How to obtain relevant information and how to interpret it
• How to safeguard your assets and employees
• The importance of an integrated risk management model

A case study will be presented for participants to analyse, and see how the topics covered play out in a particular scenario.

Our two speakers will be:
