About the Event:

Across the globe, CSO accountability practitioners are grappling with the same questions:
Are we doing enough to protect our stakeholders and organizations? What is the right way for organizations to rightsize their safeguards?
And how do we ensure that the systems we put in place are salient enough to grow, change and adapt with our organizations?

If you’ve been asking yourself these questions, come join us on Thursday, May 21 for a Dynamic Accountability Dialogue on Right Sizing Safeguards.

This DAD will be moderatored Vanessa Goas (COO @ Development Gateway: An IREX Venture), with three expert panelists:
-Jeremy Sandbrook CA, CEO / Principal at Integritas360
-Marina Kobzeva, Director of Impact and Locally-Led Practice at MapAction
-Mohammed Al-Maskati, Digital Security Helpline Director at Access Now

Together, they’ll share their experiences in safeguarding, anti-fraud and corruption, data privacy, and ethical procurement, while tackling big questions from the audience.
