Our Risk Insider client newsletter provides you with the latest information, news, articles and events in the technology, fraud, cyber security, data analytics and environmental sustainability space.

31 May 2024

ESG requirements and penetration testing are the key topics of this edition of Risk Insider. As with previous editions, we continue to explore what ESG means for your business and how to navigate its changing landscape.

Depending on your sector, the requirements can be complicated but RSM Australia has the experts to guide you. In this edition we explore the ESG landscape in both the mining and public sectors. Achieving low carbon growth and the importance of ESG reporting – plan , prepare, and respond with RSM.

Also within the public sector, we take a look at penetration testing for government agencies. Being proactive about cyber security risks is a step many businesses should be looking at, so we’ve also included some commentary on penetration testing for the mining and financial sectors.

For the agribusiness sector, this month we have some insight on how using data analytics can help you grow and improve efficiency. But this can be difficult to access in one place, so our experts have broken it down into what you need to know to tackle it.

During periods of change in a workplace the leadership you display sets the tone for your staff. But it’s not without challenge.

Overcoming imposter syndrome and fear of rejection are both topics explored below, as well as how to set your organisation up for success through positive leadership.

Enjoy the read of this month’s Risk Insider, and on behalf of RSM Australia thank you for subscribing to this newsletter.

Warmest regards,
