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.

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.

The annual Copenhagen Compliance Conference focuses on how Board of directors and Management can implement initiatives that are aimed at improving transparency, mitigating systemic risk and protecting stakeholders against the many abuses that fundamentally will affect the way in which the company operates.

Copenhagen Compliance provides guidance to all corporate actors in order to be on top of the GRC regulatory developments as well as all the practical operational steps required to be taken to be ready for any adverse reality.

Copenhagen Compliance provides guidance on how management best can achieve clearing readiness, ensuring maximum flexibility and enhanced risk management whilst safeguarding assets and keeping costs down
