Louis de Gabriele was invited as a panellist to the RSM half-day conference on risk management and internal auditing on the 24th of April.

Louis de Gabriele gave his perspective of the importance for directors in a modern company to address risk management issues and to show that they have been diligent in the manner that they identify business and operational risks as well as how to minimise and manage any residual risks. Internal audit was a means to attain this – indeed an on-going exercise in placing the directors in a better position not only to address risk management issues but also to ensure that the processes and procedures that are put in place to manage risk are properly adhered to. His interventions on the panel included his experiences not only as a corporate lawyer but also as the company secretary of a number of listed companies.
