Celebrating global excellence in governance, risk, compliance, fraud & cybercrime prevention — from a first edition in Lagos to a two-continent platform spanning Africa and Europe.
The GRC & Financial Crime Prevention Awards are a prestigious annual initiative honouring individuals, institutions and corporate entities demonstrating exceptional leadership, innovation and commitment across governance, risk, compliance, fraud prevention, cybersecurity and financial-crime prevention.
Founded by Dr. Foluso Amusa, PhD, the initiative held its first edition in Lagos in 2020. It has since expanded to Europe and beyond, and now runs two flagship editions each year — the Africa Edition in Nairobi and the Europe Edition in London. In 2025 a formal Advisory Council was appointed, alongside an independent, international panel of judges.
