      Corporate governance – the area within a company that deals with responsible corporate management – is constantly evolving. New regulatory requirements, technological innovations and rising expectations regarding transparency and accountability are noticeably changing the operating environment for companies.

      CGO Magazine is dedicated to these developments – providing precise, detailed and decision-relevant analysis. The main focus of the current issue is on refining the internal control system (ICS). Our experts highlight how control systems should be further developed in light of artificial intelligence (AI), ESG requirements, cyber risks and increasing regulatory pressure. Topics covered include the use of technology in the ICS, the role of data governance, new requirements under NIS-2, and the transformation from a traditional control framework to a management tool.
