About Event
The cost of non-compliance is rising. The real business impact extends beyond financial penalties, including business disruption, lost revenue, reputational fallout, and ongoing regulatory scrutiny. Preparation carries a price, but it’s dwarfed by the cost of failure.
Australia's regulators have high expectations for firms’ non-financial risk management practices and risk culture, aligning on one key expectation: integration. Siloed risk functions create blind spots, reduce efficiency, and expose firms. What’s emerging is a regional consensus that risk must be embedded across all levels of decision-making.
With APRA’s CPS 230 coming into force, financial institutions must integrate operational risk, business continuity, and third-party risk management into a unified framework. CPS 230 calls for cultural change, demanding risk be proactively identified, assessed, and managed across the enterprise.
In this webinar, we’ll explore:
The real cost of non-compliance — how regulatory failures impact revenue, operations, and reputation.
Why do siloed functions fail?
How can firms close the gap between risk and compliance to improve efficiency, resilience, and oversight?
What integrated risk and compliance looks like in practice — from board-level accountability to operational execution.
How technology can enable a connected GRC strategy — using modern platforms to embed risk-aware decision-making and prepare for crisis scenarios.
