On July 1, India ushered in the most significant tax reform in its 70-year history by rolling out the Goods and Service Tax (GST). The new fiscal measures will fundamentally change the way Indian businesses and, in particular, retailers work by impacting many functional areas, including pricing, supply chain management, IT, tax, and accounting. We at Openbravo are delighted to now announce that our software is now fully compliant with the GST requirements, and so we are ideally positioned to help retailers embrace the opportunities.

Join me and our guest, Calvin Lee, Operations Director at RISKID, for a lively discussion as we aim to dispel confusion surrounding many of the elements of the Operational Risk framework.


Operational risk is perhaps the most significant risk organizations face. Virtually every major loss that has taken place during the past 30 years, from Enron, Worldcom and Baring's Bank to the unauthorized trading incident at Société Générale and the subprime credit crisis, has been driven by operational failures.

Many financial institutions have spent millions of dollars trying to develop a robust framework for measuring and managing operational risk. Yet, in spite of this huge investment, for many firms developing a viable operational risk management (ORM) program remains an elusive goal.

This webinar is designed for both current students of the “Mastering Operational Risk” - http://www.globalriskacademy.com/p/orm online course and for other busy risk professionals who are interested in studying both theoretical and practical application of ORM but don’t have time to attend in-person classes.

The goal is three-fold:

1. Existing students will be able to understand more on how to work with the RISKID tool and get an opportunity to ask questions about the subject matter.
2. People who are planning to join the course will get some explanation in what is the course about, how the e-learning system works.
3. People who are just interested to know more about ORM

During the webinar we will cover:

1. 3 things most organizations are focusing on right now.
2. What are the major steps to take control of operational risks.
3. How to use Collaborative Risk Management tools to conduct your ORM operations and why traditional risk management practices involving risk registers and Excel are not effective anymore.

Applying ESG factors into a real estate strategy: the latest data and evidence on the financial case for doing so and the practical, pragmatic way to do it.

Investors increasingly appreciate the value of incorporating ESG criteria into their real estate exposure – both direct and indirect (via REITS) - but are uncertain of the full financial picture and potential environmental impact reduction now and over time.
They also worry that such strategies might be too costly or complex, but they needn't be: product development is moving forward rapidly.


Join real estate experts from Northern Trust, PGGM and GRESB to hear presentations and ask your questions on topics including:

•Which ESG factors impact returns for buildings, portfolios and real estate companies, and to what extent? The data points you need to be aware of.
•What ESG factors should then be blended into investment a real estate investment strategy: why and how?
•What is the availability of benchmarking tools on the financials and impact measurement for ESG risks and improvements?
•Engagement and ESG in property: what are the technical differences of investor activism in the property sector?

Speakers:
Roxana Isaiu, Director, ESG & Real Estate, GRESB
Mamadou-Abou Sarr, Global Head of ESG Investing, Northern Trust Asset Management
Christopher Botten, Programme Manager, Better Buildings Partnership

In today's retail environment, retailers need to adopt smarter inventory management systems that enable them to deliver the right goods at the right time and at the right cost. In this introductory webinar, we will explain how to optimize inventory in your warehouse to satisfy customer demands while ensuring the business is not carrying excess inventory that wastes money and acts as a drag on financial performance.

With Safe Harbor being invalidated and EU-US Privacy Shield and Swiss-US Privacy Shield yet to be tested, UK data privacy post Brexit an unknown, the General Data Protection Regulation coming into effect throughout the EU next year, and the Trump administration potentially poised to ride roughshod over EU surveillance concerns– the uncertainty surrounding the current regulatory environment will inevitably add complexity to the issue of data transfers, especially in the context of international investigations and disputes – and, by extension eDiscovery.

As regulatory investigations and related processes frequently span several years, strategic decisions made today around data transfers will have important ramifications down the line.

Do you know where your/your client’s data currently is hosted and if it is being held in accordance with the various and, at times, conflicting data privacy laws? If the answer is 'no', significant reputation and even financial implications could ensue.

This GIR Live webinar will break down the current data protection laws and set out some considerations and practical guidelines to minimize risk exposure for companies and professional services firms dealing with cross-border investigations and litigation.

In the GIR Live style, the webinar will aim to be highly conversational and will include time for a question and answer session with the presenters.

Issues to be addressed include:

• Data privacy and adequate protection
• What you can do now to remain compliant
• How to manage conflicts of law in a global investigation with practical tips from real life case studies
