The AICD is delivering a 45 minutes webinar on 21 October on the evolving regulatory landscape.

ASIC’s report examines corporate governance practices at seven large financial institutions, identifying “important shortcomings” in relation to the oversight and management of non-financial risk.

In particular, ASIC highlights deficiencies in entities’ articulation of, and adherence to, risk appetite statements (particularly as they relate to compliance risks); information flows to the board; and functioning of board risk committees.
