The AGERS conference will look at three important aspects of catastrophic events:
- Can knowledge of nature help us to prevent catastrophes?
- Is the insurance market giving enough protection against them?
- What strategies should a risk manager use if his corporation has activities outside Spain, falling outside the protection given by the 'Consorcio'?
Following the destruction by fire of the Windsor building in the business area of Madrid and the resulting business interruption for those companies located in the building, the conference will also focus on risk management in the wake of such an event, covering assets recovery, and maintaining continuity.
Acknowledging that risks can be opportunities as well as threats, the conference will analyse how strategic risk management can create value for an enterprise. And it will cover the legal changes affecting enterprise risk management, in areas such as corporate social responsibility and the new international accountancy rules.
