Toby was joined by Peter Binning, Corker Binning, Roger Burlingame, Kobre & Kim and Francis Kean, Willis. The panel tackled the growing enforcement risk; corporate liability in relation to internal investigations and how to educate the Board on developing the right response to investigation risk.

Toby's Key insights from the panel session included:

• Companies should check their Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance to ensure sufficient limits and flexibility.
• The SFO is majorly stepping up post Rolls Royce.
