We are pleased to invite you to our Antwerp office for a breakfast seminar, where specialists from Grant Thornton Belgium and i-Force will bring together regulatory developments, practical investigation experience and lessons learned from real-life cases.
Rather than focusing solely on what the rules require, we will discuss how they translate into practice, where organisations typically encounter challenges, and what Legal, Compliance, HR, Risk and Internal Audit professionals should consider before an issue arises.
