IIR is Proud to Announce its Strategic and Media Partnership with CGF Research Institute

After numerous collaborations, The Institute for International Research (IIR) and CGF Research Institute (CGF) have decided to strengthen their existing relationship by forming a strategic and media partnership. This partnership aims to strengthen and add even more value to cross-industry sectors and professionals who either attend IIR's conferences or who are already clients or members of CGF Research Institute.

Through this collaboration, IIR and CGF aim to complement their strengths in the market. The two organisations will work closely to promote and grow business development information, specifically in the areas of governance, risk and compliance (GRC). Furthermore, CGF's constituents will automatically receive preferential rates for any IIR events they wish to attend which is related to governance, risk and compliance matters.

The importance of good governance, effective risk management and compliance with ever-changing legislation has always been important for large corporates. More than ever before - with the increase in competition, liability, ever-growing risks and the struggling economic climate - effective GRC strategies are on the top priority list of most companies in South Africa and worldwide. Moreover, this is also becoming a fast reality for smaller companies, especially in light of the soon-to-be released new Companies Act as well as King III, both which are applicable to all companies in South Africa.

IIR produces some of the leading events in the GRC areas. Through the support of CGF, especially with their standing in the market, the IIR intends to broaden its current offerings to increase the value of its events even further in an effort to stay abreast with; the needs of various industries, their leaders and employees. We pride ourselves in our ability to respond quickly to the market changes and its requirements as well as to work in conjunction with each of our partners, to provide our clients and stakeholders with quality learning experiences that are leading edge, dynamic, and fully customisable.

IIR and CGF look forward to bringing the market the latest up-to-date GRC developments, updates and solutions and look forward to a long strategic partnership.
