Michael Volkow highlights NavX's report, showing compliance's high engagement in processes like reputational harm and data breaches but often being involved late in mergers and acquisitions. Learn that common compliance issues include privacy, cybersecurity, and regulatory demands. The report also covers ESG programs and the need for better third-party risk management - tune in to hear more!
