Italian Association of Internal Auditors

Vogliamo parlare di Governance, Risk e Compliance oltre i tecnicismi e i riferimenti normativi. Spostare maggiormente l&rsquo;attenzione dai processi aziendali alla sensibilizzazione di tutti i soggetti coinvolti ai vari livelli. Come la finanza e il marketing, la corretta gestione dei rischi di non conformit&agrave; &egrave; diventata una funzione aziendale essenziale per promuovere l&rsquo;impegno tra i propri dipendenti e ottenere la fiducia dei principali stakeholder, come investitori e consumatori.&nbsp;
L'ultimo miglio ancora da consolidare Nessuno discute l'importanza della compliance per le aziende nel corso dell'ultimo decennio ma ancora si risente della mancanza di risorse e del supporto dei vertici ad altissimo livello. Ancora tanto c'&egrave; da fare per capire come navigare i diversi spazi delle organizzazioni per essere ascoltati e percepiti in mezzo alla domanda di tutte le altre aree di societ&agrave;. Ancora tanto c'&egrave; da fare per quantificare il &nbsp;valore e il ritorno per l'azienda.
&nbsp;compliancedesign.it nasce da queste premesse con la voglia di raccontare i protagonisti e l'approccio alla gestione del rischio anche da un'altra prospettiva, convinti che il capitale umano sia l'asset pi&ugrave; prezioso per disegnare un progetto di valore duraturo e sostenibile per il futuro. Partiamo oggi, ma raccogliendo e capitalizzando un&rsquo;esperienza che viene da lontano. Partiamo oggi con la consapevolezza che tanta &egrave; ancora la strada da fare insieme.

Shifting Horizons: Trust as the Currency of a New Era

Shahanaz Müller

Compliance and AI   Partners in Progress or Challenge Ahead?

Professional road cycling has emerged from the dark days of widespread doping to be a sport that inspires people of all ages around the world. Positive values defeated the &ldquo;win at any cost&rdquo; mindset. Technology and rules (compliance) provided the framework. And this occured despite inadequate resources, in amulti-cultural environment and where the drive to win is off the charts.
What are the lessons for organisations? How do you create a values-based culture and build trust? &nbsp;Getting the balance right between compliance processes and "just culture" is the key.

Ruth Steinholtz

What do pro-cycling and compliance have in common? How to balance ethics with compliance to increase trust.

As European legislation around supply chain responsibility grows stricter, many brands remain focused on simply ticking compliance boxes&mdash;often missing the true intent of these regulations. In this masterclass, we&rsquo;ll explore how companies can move beyond traditional Codes of Conduct (COCs) and create real, sustainable change within their supply chains.
Drawing on extensive experience across production countries like China, we&rsquo;ll discuss the limitations of standard audits and delve into what factories truly need. The session highlights innovative approaches to digital learning and workforce training, considering cultural nuances and practical needs. Instead of purely controlling, we&rsquo;ll examine how collaboration, trust-building, and culturally aware training can drive better results. The goal is to shift the mindset from mere compliance to genuine engagement and impact.
Join us for a 20-minute impulse talk followed by an interactive discussion where we&rsquo;ll explore real-life examples, challenges, and strategies for achieving meaningful progress in factory conditions.
By the end of the session, you&rsquo;ll have fresh insights on how to engage production partners in ways that go beyond audits and foster long-term improvements.

Furthermore, we will unpack the critical importance of securing stakeholder buy-in at all levels, as this facilitates effective partnership and teamwork.

The Power of Partnership: How Collaboration between Compliance and Internal Audit Drives Organisational Resilience

Data privacy regulations have become a complex landscape, demanding significant organizational resources, and diverting attention from core business operations. To effectively navigate this challenge, organizations must streamline their compliance efforts especially in the intersection of compliance and business functions while maintaining rigorous data protection standards.
This talk will explore the pivotal role of a dedicated SaaS platform in achieving this balance. We will delve into the key features of a robust data privacy platform, demonstrating how it can automate manual tasks, centralize data management, and provide transparency to all stakeholders in real-time. By understanding the limitations of alternative existing tools such as O365 and exploring proven operating models, attendees will gain practical strategies to optimize their data privacy initiatives and minimize operational disruption.
Let&rsquo;s discover how to turn data privacy compliance from a burden into a frictionless and easily manageable process.
