We had a fantastic CREW event in Melbourne last week; 50+ women in risk and compliance gathered to discuss board communication and reporting. Plus some networking of course.😉 A big thank you to our panel - Claire Keating, Fiona Rowland FAICD and Jenny Taing OAM (all experienced board members), and to Sanela Osmanovic and the team at KHQ Lawyers for hosting.
CREW (Compliance and Risk Executive Women) is free to join and open to women working in senior compliance, risk and governance related roles within the Australian financial services sector. If you are in Sydney on 7 August, we'd love to see you in person - details below.
Speaking of board papers - a couple of years ago, I interviewed some experienced execs on how to get the right result from a board paper. It's been one of our most popular blogs, for good reason! See link at end of this newsletter.
Cheers

GETTING THE RIGHT RESULT FROM A BOARD PAPER
Following on from our CREW discussion on board communication and reporting, in this article we discuss our seven steps for you to get the right result for your board paper.
If you do a good job of each of these, you're far more likely to get the result you want. It does take some effort though, which is annoying I know!
