The Governance Institute of Australia has released the full program of expert speakers for its two-day Governance and Risk Management Forum that opens on 11 May.

The regulatory, economic and business response to COVID-19, privacy risks and the emerging issues for governance and risk professionals will be among the key topics put under the microscope.

Speakers include ASIC Commissioner John Price, NSW Treasury Chief Economist Stephen Walters, ASX Chief Compliance Officer Kevin Lewis, Telstra Chief Risk Officer Joanna Knox, Elders CEO Mark Allison, and QBE CEO Patrick Regan.

  • Chief Risk Officer panel: Top risk specialists discuss how to respond to an evolving crisis; safeguard people, supply chains, distribution and finance; and ensure effective and relevant information flows to board and management.
  • Spotlight on ESG: Environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are in the spotlight like never before. A look at the latest in light of recent climate, bushfire, and pandemic events. Modern slavery compliance will also be examined.
