Mercator by Citco is pleased to invite you to our webinar addressing the use of technology to monitor subsidiary governance without even asking questions from your local teams or service providers. In addition, we will discuss how to set up a suitable framework and best practice that would result in time efficiencies, improved risk mitigation and enhanced control through transparency.
Discuss common challenges encountered by multinationals and how or what technology, such as electronic signature systems and entity and task management systems, have helped them overcome these. We will place heavy focus on implementation of technology and connectivity between other departments, such as tax, finance and HR, within their companies to achieve speeding up the pace of business, cost reduction and minimize manual mistakes.
