Sign Up for Our Business Continuity & Crisis Management for Audit & Assurance Professionals training

Why Attend?

As the current global situation shows, the possibility of a crisis severely disrupting an organisation’s ability to operate looms today like never before. Given the pace with which global threats evolve, incidents such as cybercrime, volatile weather patterns, terrorism attacks, and epidemics are increasingly likely. These events all impact the ability to continue operations and meet stakeholders’ objectives and may even threaten the very existence of the business. 

Being able to better recognize potential crises, effectively handle such interruptions, and return to normal operations is extremely difficult. Gaining the capacity to do this quickly and efficiently with the minimum amount of impact — to be crisis resilient — is that much harder, and the ultimate goal.
