Compliance 10/10 – Celebrating The Excellence In GRACE
Today, we live in a world where VUCA has transitioned into BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-Linear, and Incomprehensible). The future presents glaring challenges, from data security to insider trading, ESG misuse to third-party risks. In this dynamic landscape, defined by constant technological advancements and growing geopolitical instability, the role of a Compliance and Legal Professional has never been more critical. Compliance is marked today by deep complexity, with officers increasingly engaged in strategic planning and decision-making that positions organisations to thrive in uncertain times.
To counter the instability of the BANI world and mitigate the risks it poses, the future calls for a Futurecaster. This leader must engage teams with a compelling vision, empower people to navigate and adapt to change, and continue driving progress. A key imperative for such leaders is adopting an integrated Governance, Risk, Assurance, Compliance, and Ethics (GRACE) approach.
Compliance 10/10 stands as a celebration of the tireless efforts of compliance professionals and the unwavering support they provide to boards and organisation overall. A Compliance professional is a Futurecaster who must not only stay updated on evolving industry trends but also anticipate disruptions before they occur. Across industries, boards and senior management remain deeply concerned about the disruptions these challenges create. Yet, with limited time to upskill themselves, they rely heavily on forums such as Compliance 10/10. This initiative provides a platform for free-flowing discussions between stalwarts and emerging leaders, enabling them to understand best practices while aligning with the evolving expectations of today’s workforce.
Every year, Legasis launches the celebrations a week before the event, engaging compliance leaders and their teams across client locations on pressing challenges. A significant milestone during this week is the ‘Train the Trainer in Business Ethics’ program, a limited-seat in-person session created exclusively for senior professionals to strengthen the ethics quotient and foster organisational integrity.
The Compliance 10/10 main event is a day-long program combining masterclasses, symposiums, and an awards ceremony that honours the true flagbearers of compliance. The day begins with engaging masterclasses on “Just Being Compliant,” “Leading with Ethics and Integrity,” and “Enemy at the Gate and Seated Next to You: Exploring Cyber Risk, Data Privacy, and AI-Driven Risks.” These sessions, guided by the integrated GRACE framework, equip professionals with the skill to identify hidden risks, embrace change, and lead resiliently.
This is followed by the Compliance Quiz Finale. More than just a knowledge challenge, the quiz injects energy and excitement into compliance, transforming learning into a fun, competitive event. Earlier online rounds saw 29 teams, comprising 87 professionals, compete to secure a place in the final. The grand finale will witness four teams battling before an audience of 300 industry peers.
In the afternoon, the focus shifts to five panel discussions on the theme “Elephants in the Room.” These will address disruptive risks often left unspoken across GRACE.
The evening culminates with the prestigious awards ceremony, graced by dignitaries including Hon’ble Mr Justice Abhay Oka, Hon’ble Mr Justice S V Gangapurwala, Mr K V Kamath, and Mr M Damodaran. With over 900 nominations reviewed by an independent jury, Compliance 10/10 recognises champions across multiple categories, underscoring the ever-growing importance of compliance and ethics in today’s corporate world.
