On June 21, 2006 the international auditing and consulting firm Deloitte hosted the Business Lunch entitled “Being Public – Increasing Market Value through Enterprise Risk Management” in the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Representatives of local and foreign financial services companies operating in Kazakhstan attended the event. As part of Deloitte’s continuing focus to support the financial services industry in the Caspian Region, Leon Bloom, the Deputy Managing Partner of Deloitte Global Financial Services Industry Practice attended the lunch, to share his thoughts on the Enterprise Risk Management Framework as part of the trends in Global Financial Governance. Leon was in Almaty to follow up on work he has recently completed for institutional clients in the Kazakhstan Banking Sector, where his many years of international experience have been of great value. 

Deloitte believes that the issues discussed at the lunch will become increasingly important for Kazakhstan as the Financial Services Industry continues to grow.
