Internal risk is often not recognised or understood, exposing the organisation to the threat of failure. This is understandable given that risk is rarely a core competency, but it exposes organisations to unnecessary vulnerability. In this interview, our resident corporate governance specialist, Mark Nuttall, explains the value of a risk framework. 

Part 3

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk covers a broad spectrum of issues. Over the past few years, public sentiment has kept ESG in the headlines, with the topic now filtering into the regulatory discourse. Reputational risk has been an issue for some time, but the threat of fines and censure represents heightened risk. In this interview our resident corporate governance specialist, Mark Nuttall, discusses the impact of ESG on compliance.

Increasing regulatory pressure has made detailed and accurate due diligence reporting a critical requirement. While a risk-based approach still applies, there is increasing pressure on compliance departments to increase the transparency and application of their due diligence reporting and to know more about their business relationships than before. According to our resident corporate governance specialist, Mark Nuttall, understanding their risk tolerance has become a critical task.
