Beyond the numbers with Grant Thornton: Listen now
With end of financial year fast approaching, banks and financial services organisations need to consider current market conditions, regulatory changes and business planning.
How can you minimise your risk profile? What are the latest developments in Tax and financial reporting? How can you develop strong sustainability reporting strategies with the growing focus on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) reporting?
Listen back to our ADI Virtual Conference as we dive into these themes, helping you set your business up for the year ahead.
The evolving global and local environment means a constantly changing regulatory landscape impacting ADIs. This includes increased focus on resilience – from operational through to cyber risk, strength of board capability and renewal practices, financial safety and stability – as well as recovery and exit planning, embedding the capital framework and considering climate related financial risks. Alongside this, there’s more on the horizon to strengthen ADI governance and risk management, including CPS 511 Remuneration. We’ll dive into these regulatory changes, the impact of the global landscape and how to manage the ongoing challenges
