The discussion will also cover global reporting implications, the strategic importance of captives, and innovative approaches to using captives for efficient capital expenditure management.

Next, a dialogue will delve into the similarities and differences among leading captive domiciles in the region, examining their landscapes, regulatory environments, and competitive advantages. The session will also explore strategies for optimising risk management and insurance needs across these diverse domiciles.

After lunch, ACC 2024 will feature a panel discussion on leveraging captives to manage employee benefits, focusing on achieving greater control, cost efficiency, and improved data management.

Following this, the afternoon will feature two concurrent break-out sessions: Captive 101 for newcomers and Advanced Captive for seasoned professionals, designed to address the needs of both new and experienced captive practitioners.
