The collapse of Enron (2001), Tyco (2002), Royal Ahold and Parmalat (2003), AIG (2004), Madoff and Lehman Brothers (2008), Satyam Computer Services (2009), and the consequent credit and financial crisis (2010-2012) has brought several Corporate Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) issues to the forefront of The Board of Directors and Management’s attention regarding regulatory compliance concerns.

Reports on international scandals and irregularities continue their forward march into the corporate boardrooms. Directors and Management are therefore seeking guidance and expertise to implement their commitment to their GRC responsibilities.

In a survey, by Cass Business School of 18 high profile corporations with an aggregate pre crisis value was over $6 trillion, 7 companies faced bankruptcy, 11 Chairmen and/or CEO lost their jobs, and in 16 cases the management personally suffered financial penalties or fines, and 4 executives received prison sentences.

The various presentations and articles by subject matter experts' provide solutions to the unrecognised and unmanaged processes and areas that not only create underlying risks, but are potentially a deadly threat to the chances of even the largest and most successful businesses.

Copenhagen Compliance focus is on the Boards, management and stakeholders that quite often may turn a blind eye to these dangerous GRC areas. Without stakeholder leadership, these GRC issues risks often remain unknown.

All Copenhagen Compliance Conference have focused on the lessons learnt, on implementing best practices and provide hands on practical assessments that participants can take home. Directors and management can thereby learn solutions from other trades and derive from the many international regulatory compliance requirements from EU legislative bodies e.g. The European Market Infrastructure Regulation, or the Bribery Act of the UK, or The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the revival of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act from the US.
