GRC World Forums and BDO are delighted to announce a strategic partnership for the upcoming #RISK Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) Executive Forum, taking place on Wednesday 10th June at Soho Lofts, located at 180 Strand in central London.

This one-day, invitation-only event is designed exclusively for senior and established Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC), and Internal Audit leaders from across banking groups, insurers, asset and wealth managers, and other financial institutions.
Hosted in the heart of London, the #RISK BFSI Executive Forum will bring together the brightest minds, visionary leaders, and cutting-edge solution providers to explore how the GRC community can navigate permanent market volatility, satisfy intensifying supervisory expectations, and build resilient, sustainable businesses. Through a carefully curated agenda of keynotes, and structured vendor briefings, attendees will gain practical insight into the friction points that matter most to modern BFSI leadership teams.
“As regulatory frameworks become more interconnected and technology risks escalate, Chief Risk Officers need space to engage in raw, off-the-record benchmarking,” said Niki Dowdall, Co-founder of #RISK BFSI Executive Forum. “Partnering with BDO allows us to tap into an exceptional depth of advisory expertise and broaden our engagement with the UK’s senior CRO community. Their insights will ensure our discussions are tightly focused on the actual commercial and operational realities of the boardroom.”
BDO, one of the world’s leading accounting and advisory networks, will co-promote the forum directly to its extensive financial services CRO community, ensuring the delegation represents the highest tier of industry practitioners.
Sasha Molodtsov, Financial Services Partner at BDO added: “Our ongoing interactions with senior risk and compliance executives across the City reveal an immediate demand for intimate, high-quality environments that move past the generic content of mass conferences. Modern risk functions are shifting from technical control units into enterprise-leading disciplines. Together with #RISK BFSI Executive Forum, we are creating a forum where CROs can speak candidly, share practical hurdles, and evaluate technologies that provide true boardroom clarity.”
The addition of BDO alongside search specialists Halsey Keetch establishes the forum as London’s definitive mid-year destination for integrated risk, resilience, and operational strategy.
Senior GRC and Audit leaders within financial institutions can request an invitation to attend.
