Effective compliance is crucial in an ever-changing regulatory landscape. NLJ readers are invited to attend a day-long virtual conference on 26 October with leading experts and senior in-house counsel.

The conference, from 9.30-5pm, will cover best practice in design, implementation and management of a strong compliance programme, including how to achieve buy-in from across an organisation and the perennial challenge of stakeholder management.

More specifically, it covers tougher rules on data, data protection, cyber security, how to influence the board and create a compliance culture, Brexit and preparing for the unexpected, implementing an effective anti-corruption programme, the risks to business from modern slavery and human trafficking.

The conference, Practical and Effective Compliance Forum, will bring topical issues direct to your computer. Speakers include the vice president of legal and compliance at Swiss Re, the group head of sustainability at British American Tobacco and the group manager (policy delivery) at the Information Commissioner’s Office, as well as Nicholas Cropp, of Seven Bedford Row, who has appeared in many complex regulatory and corruption cases, and experienced technology and compliance lawyer, Jonathan Armstrong, partner at Cordery.
