Roundtables Held

ACI Roundtable Two:
Corporate Governance Insights: the global scene and what works best

Recent events have further increased the attention given to corporate governance and boards of directors are under even greater pressure to demonstrate that they have the capability to be proactive and strategically minded with regards to corporate governance issues. Boards need not only to manage their own operations with respect to governance, but also exert the right levels of influence on management and the company as a whole.

Achieving better practice means creating sustainable value, in terms of board operations, stewardship, monitoring and evaluation, strategy development and corporate captive. In these endeavours, they need to involve shareholders, employees, customers, supply partners, regulators and the community as a whole. However, each company has unique characteristics, taking into account geography, industry, market, culture and the expectations of stakeholders.

At our seminar IG Chandran Advisory Partner in Charge and Khun Narisara Phatanaphibul reflected on the following issues:-


  • Corporate Goverance: International reform - Issues and insights;
  • US and UK Case Studies: What went wrong ?
  • The Thai story on corporate governance: Is it working ?
  • The Corporate Governance Healthcheck: How well do you stack-up ?

ACI Roundtable One:
Corporate Fraud: A risk that needs to be managed

The first roundtable event was held on the 2nd October at the JW Marriott Hotel Bangkok which was attended by over 140 Thailand Institute of Directors members, audit committee members and members of various public listed companies.

The incidence of various kinds of internal malpractice and misconduct is perceived as an increasing challenge to management in Thailand. Countering this business risk is essential, not only to reduce exposure to corporate liability, sanctions and litigation, but also to achieve the highest standards of business integrity through sound corporate governance, internal control and transparency.

Best practice companies need to develop fraud risk management strategies to ensure prevention, detection and response. To help raise awareness the following presentation was made to the event attendees by Grant Jamieson Partner, KPMG Hong Kong, Forensic Practice Leader for Hong Kong.

The Audit Committee Institute Thailand facilitates interactive roundtables forums. These roundtables are panel-driven, interactive sessions designed to facilitate constructive dialogue among participants—typically including audit committee members, board members, CEOs, CFOs, chief accounting officers, tax directors, and other corporate leaders. The goal of our roundtables is to enhance participants’ awareness of the issues discussed and identify actions to improve the effectiveness of audit committees.
