Covid-19: Flexible work arrangements & associated public sector risks

Morning videoconference session

Information access, privacy, data security and guarding against corruption in the age of Covid-19.

Many industries and sectors have stalled or worse, ground to a halt since March this year.  However, our public sector clients have seen greater demands on their services than ever before, all while transitioning many of their workforce to flexible work arrangements.

In such circumstances, regulators such as the IBAC and the OVIC have noted particular risks.  They arise from the way the public sector works and work arrangements during the pandemic.  How well are your agency’s policies, procedures, systems and processes holding up?  Is it ‘business as usual’ in your workplace or do you need to act now to guard against possible poor decision-making, deficient record-keeping or insufficient privacy protection?

In this one-hour webinar, we will discuss:

• Data security and privacy risks arising from working remotely;
• Problem-shooting requests for information and documents with staff working remotely;
• Corruption risks in procurement, decision-making, conflict-managing, fraud-prevention, record-keeping and information security

The webinar will be conducted using WebEx (end to end encryption).  For information about how this will work, click here for FAQs.
