The second session provides a forward-looking view of the 2026 risk and regulatory landscape, including upcoming accounting standards, enterprise risk trends, and practical approaches to strengthening compliance readiness and reporting accuracy. Together, these sessions offer a clear view of what is changing, what to watch for, and how.
