Closing the Risk Rift: Real Strategies from Real Leaders

In today's volatile business environment, playing it safe may no longer be the safest option. The 2025 BDO Global Risk Landscape Report reveals a striking gap between risk awareness and action, with many organizations still leaning into cautious, compliance-led strategies—often at the expense of growth.

Join us for a live panel discussion where our professionals will unpack the most pressing insights from the report and share how organizations are rethinking their approach to risk from both international and Canadian perspectives.

During this session, you'll get:

• Information on key themes and impacts in today's risk landscape
• Perspectives from our leaders on how to address regulatory and geopolitical pressure, and shifting away from box-ticking to cultivating a proactive risk culture
• Practical guidance on what your next steps should be
