DPDP Act 2023: Governance, Risk & Control Implications for Chartered Accountants

Event Introduction

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) marks a fundamental shift in how organisations in India are expected to govern personal data. Beyond legal compliance, the Act introduces significant financial, operational, and governance risks that directly impact boards, CFOs, and Chartered Accountants.

This exclusive webinar is designed to help CA professionals understand DPDP as a business and control framework, not merely a legal obligation. The session will focus on practical risk areas—finance, HR, outsourcing, internal controls, and breach response—where DPDP exposure is most significant.

Participants will gain clarity on how DPDP obligations intersect with internal financial controls (IFC), audit, assurance, and advisory roles, and how Chartered Accountants can play a critical role in enabling DPDP-aligned governance within organisations.
