Governance and Risk Management Forum

Embedding accountability in governance and risk frameworks

After the sellout series last year, we are delighted to invite you to join the 2025 Governance and Risk Management Forum to discuss the most urgent and resonant challenges and practical strategies for accountable governance. The Forum gives you state-relevant and practical ideas and insights to implement immediately.

Hear from the respected voices in governance and risk management and be empowered with market-leading knowledge and skills to help you tackle the challenges you face in your role.

The themes for 2025:

This year, we focus on embedding accountability in governance and risk frameworks. Accountability is a pillar of good governance. It is also the piece that is often called into question when governance fails, and the organisation is consequently exposed to risks across multiple dimensions.

At the 2025 Governance and Risk Management Forum, we reflect on the indelible connection between good leadership and accountability. And the strategies to ensure that leaders remain accountable to their stakeholders. How do you integrate transparency into decision-making? How do you find and mitigate pressure points in systems, structures and processes across the organisation that could challenge ethics and accountable decision-making? How do you build and communicate an accountable workplace culture? How do you foster individual and collective responsibility as part of risk culture?
