The man who brought down Bernie Madoff keynotes the most anticipated governance, risk, and compliance event of the year, hosted by Galvanize
VANCOUVER April 22, 2021 – Galvanize, a Diligent brand and the global leader in SaaS governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) software, today announced Harry Markopolos as the keynote for HighPoint, the GRC industry’s premier event. Markopolos—who famously uncovered evidence that led to Bernie Madoff’s arrest in 2008 for operating a $65 billion Ponzi scheme—will keynote all three of HighPoint’s regional events: North America (June 1–3), Europe (June 9–10), and Asia-Pacific (June 17–18).
In his keynote, Markopolos, a modern-day detective for financial fraud, will dissect historical frauds and provide insights and tools to analyze and detect future fraud. Attendees will learn valuable tips to uncover potentially catastrophic GRC failures so their organization can stay off the front page.
HighPoint is the leading GRC event packed with informative and actionable GRC stories, technology innovations, and insights from top industry experts. This year, the event consists of timely and inspirational keynotes, in-depth workshops, and breakout sessions all focused on delivering the latest in GRC trends. Sessions cover a wide range of pertinent topics from integrating machine learning into existing processes, to defending high-risk environments against the uptick in cybercrime, to evolving and maturing internal control and SOX programs.
