Crisis management

Don't get caught without a plan

No one wants to spend time dealing with a crisis, which makes it all the more surprising that so many Canadian companies fail to prepare for them. Staying ahead of critical threats — intellectual property theft, corporate fraud, money laundering, foreign corruption, disputes and corporate restructuring — requires a kind of preparedness many companies don’t have or want to spend time on. But when it comes to managing threats, taking action is key. And sooner is better than later.

Intellectual property theft: Not if, but when

Companies are keen to protect their intellectual property. Yet many of them don’t understand what it’s worth, or how to protect it. In this podcast, Dave Stewart and Bob Low of Deloitte’s Financial Advisory practice discuss the different forms that intellectual property can take, and how to respond in the event of intellectual property theft. Listen now.
