Proper GRC will cure our migraine We can all of us agree, I expect, that Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance are three pillars that support the organization by providing assurance that its objectives are met. Even Wikipedia agrees. Owners, citizens and governing bodies place high standards on our organizations, demanding on the one hand efficiency and effectiveness be delivered, and on the other hand that there shall be no surprises. Media and public authorities also have expectations to this governance framework and are continuously reviewing the way it operates in practice. But to be honest today we are suffering as if from a migraine. The attacks in Brussels once more demonstrate the polarization within this world. They serve as a reminder to us that our efforts to develop our own skills and competencies in the GRC area, also play their part in contributing to the global fight against corruption, crime and poverty – even if only to a limited extent. And then just when we started to believe again that governance in the financial world had found a solid footing and the fog was clearing along come the Panama Papers and give us another headache. The ECIIA Conference on GRC on October 6–7 will cover all these aspects and provide an outstanding arena for networking and sharing experiences. We are proud of the programme and look forward to sharing it together with you in Stockholm!

The Most Current Money Laundering, Corruption and Terrorist Financing risks and the relationship with the parallel (black market)

Transnational EconomyThe rise and expanse of global commerce and the increased interconnectedness of commer-cial enterprise has led to some less intended consequences. Corruption, Money Laundering and financial misconduct has grown more sop-histicated and invaded many aspects of global financial systems, and has give rise to black mar-ket finance. Robert M Appleton’s presentation will address some of the more sophisticated ways corruption has grown in international commerce as well as in the parallel economy, and the response by governments to attempt to address it, through increased regulation and enforcement. The presentation will also address the efforts of international organizations to respond to transnational corruption, and how public monies are at significant risk in the cur-rent climate in aid projects around the world.

Due diligence – a necessary and useful process to get to know your partnersDue diligence is often seen as a burden to comply with regulations. Organizations,

however, that manage this process right stand to benefit from a more efficient management of the risks associated with their partners. Topics that will be discussed during Hema Lehocky’s session include• Systematic approach to determine the level

of due diligence• Efficient approaches to information gathering• Supporting and not delaying decision making• Do’s and don’ts from a privacy point of viewLehocky will share learnings from Telia Com-pany’s journey to set standards for partner due diligence and integrating it in the decision making process.

The Development and Challenges of the Audit Profession from a European PerspectiveIn his presentation, Henrik Stein will give an overview

of recent developments and achievements of the profession on the European level with a special focus on the relationship with go-vernment bodies, the regulatory environment, especially in the financing sector, and the coo-peration with organisations representing diffe-rent stakeholders and professions concerned by corporate governance. The presentation will also highlight some key aspects of today’s requirements facing a successful internal audit function with a specific focus on the relations-hip with the first and second line of defence as well as with stakeholders like the management and supervisory body.

New Challenges in the AntiCorruption Landscape! – What to be aware of!The challenges that organi-zations face in relation to

corruption risks are changing as the organi-zations continue their work with focus on ethics, sustainability and CSR. We also see that the expectations from external stakeholders’ expectations increase when attention is drawn at different levels of society to the importance of working against corruption. New challenges and positive measures taken within different business sectors will be highlighted during Helena Sundén’s presentation.

How to Establish a Proper Compliance CultureA compliance culture in a firm must be lead by top management. The concept of compliance must be

internalized by everybody. An independent compliance department should support senior management in the establishment of such a culture and monitor its observance. This will be the theme for Hans-Peter Bauer’s presentation.

How to Find Fraud B4 it Finds YouNigel Krishna Iyer’s interac-tive session is an appeal to Internal Auditorsand Risk Professionals to

start looking for the Red Flags of Fraud and Corruption – It is THERE and people expect you to be able to fi nd them. In this session you will learn the fundamentals of fraud detec-tion though exercises and interactions.

Parallel sessions Parallel sessions

Mobile Payment Technology – New Models for the Payment IndustryTwo fundamental changes in traditional payment methods are changing the landsca-

pe of spending: Emerging block chain based currencies and alternative payment channels are disrupting time honoured cash and credit card based transaction service providers. Enabling cheap transactions where traditional banking services are expensive is critical for supporting business growth (especially in the developing world where banking services are not always cheap or available). At the same time, ensuring appropriate privacy, security as well as the disclosure level that customers are demanding mandates innovation in a very con-servative industry. Kaya Kazmirci’s session’s goal is to both describe emerging currencies as well as their strengths and weaknesses re-lated to traditional payment means. These new currencies enable new payment channels and require a new set of controls to ensure that they are both secure and convenient to use.

Integrated Risk Management – A Modern Risk Framework for GovernanceDuring this presentation, Johan Hansen will speak

about an integrated risk management based on a case from the Swedish Transport Ad-ministration, which has developed a modern high quality risk framework. This framework is integrated into all management, planning and monitoring in this complex organization. It is innovative by integrating risk, business continuity, incident and crisis management and also supports the assessment of appropriate capability within these areas. The framework is comprehensive covering all the way from the Board to the project and line operations.

How to Build a Virtual Organization and Process for Crisis ManagementIn recent years, crisis management and crisis communication has become

an important part of managers’ work. We face potential crisis situations and we have to be prepared. In the presentation, Zsuzsanna Tamásné Vóneki will show how a company can build up a virtual organization and process for crisis management; which are the main requirements of the crisis communication. Through some case studies Tamásné Vóneki will discuss the implementation of the crisis management system.

Integrated Thinking (Reporting)The IIA has been conducting a widespread consultation on enhanced external reporting (such as integrated

reporting or strategic reporting) and the necessary integrated thinking that underpins this. There is an important role for internal auditors to play in supporting their organi-zations as they make their own “integrated thinking journey”. Anton van Wyk’s session is intended to provide background information to this important topic and to continue the dialogue by sharing first hand experiences, thereby contributing to the IIA’s formulation of a global position.

Compliance – from a burning platform to a burning desire? During her presentation, Viktoria Aastrup will speak about how to change Com-

pliance from a burning platform to a burning desire. A change journey in many dimensions – practical experiences and take-aways esta-blishing and strengthening compliance culture in Retail Banking. How to tell the story behind WHY compliance, to motivate, engage and change perception of compliance in a large organisation. What does it require to take out complexity out of Compliance by using communication as an important tool.

Just Do It – Why Culture Matters The well known manage-ment guru, Peter Drucker, once commented that‘culture eats strategy for

breakfast’: people ‘buy’ culture in a way they don’t buy business plans. Yet, why do so many organisations flounder on the rocks of poor cultural understanding, and what does this mean for growing cultural, ethnic and religious diversity here in Europe? Steve Fowler’s pre-sentation explores how a good understanding of culture, and the interplay between risk and culture, can help ensure organisational success.

Auditing CultureThe focus on culture and ethics has never been more prominent than today. Topics for this master class led by Mark Carawan include key

considerations for designing and implementing an effective audit program for culture and ethics, including:• Developing the audit universe for culture

and ethics• Identifying challenges to the development of

a program to audit culture and ethics• Reviewing principles for comprehensive

coverage• Quantitative and Qualitative measures for

assessment• Discussing emerging best practice

Internal Control – The Perspective of the Swedish Financial Supervision Agency Expectations for bank directors have rightly incre-

ased post-crisis, but the range of practices regarding the expected time commitment and level of engagement is very broad, varying by jurisdiction and governance structure, as well as by institution and even by individual di-rectors. Supervisors acknowledge that super-visory guidance and requests from supervisors can contribute to a lack of clarity regarding expectations of the board in some key areas. When supervisors ask boards to “review,” “approve,” or “ensure,” something, what do they mean? What does providing “credible challenge,” entail? How can boards be deeply engaged but retain independence? This will be touched upon during the presentation by Christer Furustedt.
