You'll hear Simon talk about what makes this year's conference so worthwhile, his 'superfan' crush on one of the speakers and why the price of registration represents such great value, not only for the individual a ..read more

In our chat, Rocco shares his vast experience in assisting companies to safely, and with due regard to the environment, retire or on sell end of life computer and network equipment. As you'll hear, the biggest challenge is not the physical equipment, but rather ensuring that all company confidential or sensitive data is removed from the devices and unable to be retrieved.

In this discussion, Anthony Wilson and Brett Palmer discuss what good reporting looks like for Executives and Directors of organisations. Clearly there are regulatory requirements that Senior Management and Boards must meet and that must be supported by robust Risk Management reporting. The trick is always getting the balance right - too much detail is just as bad as too little. When reporting to these groups, materiality is key - the Board and the Executive need to be hearing about the Material risks, the effectiveness of the controls and progress on any actions. One of the biggest drivers ..read more

Secondly, those charged with the governance of the organisation, the Board of Directors, need a robust ..read more

In this episode, Brett and I discuss the Risk Management Gap Analysis - what it is, how you go about it, what are the key focus areas and why all organisations need to do it periodically. The key takeaway is that this is not putting a specific risk under the microscope but actually reviewing the Risk Management Program itself and comparing how its performing compared to the ambitions you set for the program. If you aren't achieving all you were hoping to out of your Risk Management Program, this is the episode for you! As always, we welcome your feedback on the episode, the podcast generall ..read more
