Taking Control of Legal and Regulatory Risks


One form of risk of particular concern to business leaders today is legal and regulatory risk. Federal, state, local, and overseas entities are endlessly creating, modifying, and repealing laws and regulations. Companies must respond to this central activity of government by understanding the resulting risks and mitigating them appropriately. Underestimation or inadequate mitigation of these risks can lead to fines, sanctions, increased compliance burdens, loss of investor confidence, loss of customer trust, and executive turnover. Overestimation of – or undue uncertainty about – these risks can lead to over-spending, poor resource allocation, and a disinclination to pursue perfectly lucrative business opportunities.

Join this webcast to learn best practices for managing legal and regulatory risk across the enterprise. Hear how organizations are gaining better visibility, improved consistency, improved performance, and improved use of resources and better documented evidence to sustain and defend regulatory programs.
