NED Investment Forum Edinburgh
An exclusive forum bringing together Non-Executive Directors and investors to discuss growth, governance and value creation.
Join us at our NED Investment Forum for a discussion on the latest governance, audit, regulatory and legal developments affecting trusts and VCTs.
The programme will cover audit committee expectations and external audit developments, the latest FRC thematic review findings, governance updates including Provision 34, the new SORP and IPEV guidelines, sector-specific tax considerations, and emerging legal issues and litigation risks for boards.
We're thrilled welcome guest speakers from Dickson Minto, who will share insights into key legal developments, litigation risks and other topical issues boards should be considering.
Choose from either our London afternoon event on 18 November or our Edinburgh morning event on 20 November, with both sessions offering opportunities to connect and exchange perspectives with fellow NEDs and industry specialists.
