An Evening With Dr Paul Fisher

An Evening With Dr Paul Fisher

The View From The EU

Please join us for an evening with Dr Paul Fisher in the Private Dining Room of the RACV club in Melbourne.

You will have the opportunity to meet other like-minded senior executives and participate in a thought provoking conversation with Dr Paul Fisher, former executive director at the Bank of England. Since Paul visited our shores last year, so much has been achieved in the EU, we felt it essential to ask him back to share how the business world is changing.

He will summarise changes in financial reporting, sustainable growth of the finance industry, mainstreaming financial sustainability and the work towards more transparent climate risk reporting. Dr Fisher has been heavily involved in these developments in the EU.

We believe that our regulators will be adopting many of these new EU initiatives. 

The evening includes a two course meal and a selection of fine wines.

Dinner will be served at 7.00 pm.

Tickets are $220 Inc GST
