In our previous podcast, we looked at organisational governance arrangements. Central to effective governance is accurate and targeted data and, as we approach 2020, data and information, particularly in the context of managing conduct risk, has never come under more scrutiny.

In this podcast, John Davison and Christian Blackwell, the Managing Directors in our Dentons Risk Consulting business, look at the importance of data and offer tips on how it can help drive greater organisational value.
