· The focus of this event is on providing an outline of the key areas of risk and opportunity that an effective approach to compliance and governance can highlight. All our comments will be pro-active, proportional and not aimed to merely create tasks and "tick boxes"

· The key features highlighted in the seminar are all relevant to a business operating in Cambodia. While many originate and are driven by external forces, all have footprint which include Cambodia. While many of the features have strong resonance for the banking sector all the topics we will cover relate to all sectors of business activity and, in many cases, have relevance to you as in your personal capacity as owners, managers and investors in businesses

· By focusing upon the risks posed by these features we aim to help you to be better aware of and prepared in terms of the risks your businesses face. Further we will begin to posit how we see these features developing through the medium term because compliance and governance are subjects that will only increase in terms of the risks and obligations they will pose to your business

· Working with SokSiphana &associates we will highlight cost-effective ways in which you can mitigate the risks we highlight. This may be through updating and expanding your policies and procedures. Or in the case of cyber threat by commissioning regular audits of your systems and by remaining aware of developing threats and challenges : cyber threat is constantly changing and evolving and no business or individual is fully protected

· Not all aspects of this seminar are about prevention. Compliance and governance offer businesses the opportunity to showcase their professional and forward looking ways. Good systems and procedures are a clear sign of a well managed business and one that is aware of global trends and hence able to participate fully in the global marketplace. Whether you are looking to list on an exchange or obtain syndicated debt or make an acquisition, obtain insurance or join a cross-border supply chain good governance reflects well upon your business. For a relatively small investment you can obtain significant benefits.
