Political Risk and Business Continuity Asia Pacific 2006- Forum announcement

London and Kuala Lumpur: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will host Political Risk and Business Continuity Asia Pacific 2006 , a Forum jointly arranged by The Financial Crime Forum and The Chief Officers' Network, divisions of The Anti Money Laundering Network.

The Forum is timely for political risk has caused problems for businesses across the globe, including those headquartered in politically and stable environments such as Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore.

Political risk ranges from drugs and terrorism problems on the Pakistan / Afghanistan border, the application of sanctions to North Korea and companies dealing with that country, the removal of the Prime Minister in Thailand and the accession of Vietnam to the World Trade Organisation.

But political risk is only a part of the equation: being prepared for upheaval is a matter of business survival. So companies need to know what they would do if a typhoon devastated their facilities, if an earthquake damaged head office or a sudden change in the political or stability condition of a country meant rapid evacuation of all staff.

The Forum will bring together experts from a broad range of expertise from counter-terrorism to mopping up after natural disasters, from protecting assets from violent attack to protecting computers against cyber-disasters.

For two days, delegates will be in an environment where vigorous debate is encouraged and discussion never slows.
