VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne launches Governance, Risk & Compliance Unit

WILLEMSTAD - Law firm VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne launches a specialized team in Governance, Risk & Compliance. The firm engages drs. ing. Robbert Kroon (The Galan Group) as Counsel for this purpose. Together with prof. dr. Frank Kunneman, Kroon will be the face of the new practice group. Kunneman and Kroon have advised, published and lectured on corporate governance, risk, and compliance for years.
 
Robbert Kroon says about his move: “As a manager and partner with several consultancy firms, I often worked closely together with the legal profession in this area. This combined expertise gives clients an understanding of all essential aspects of corporate governance. This resulted in the need for more structural cooperation. In my role as Counsel, I add non-legal advice to the existing services of VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne. For instance guidance in change management or the 
implementation of processes.” 
 
VanEps Kunneman VanDoorne advises the profit and non-profit sector on governance and compliance. With a specialized team, the firm strengthens the focus on the subject. The firm will offer its broadened package of services on all islands of the Dutch Caribbean. Examples are compliance programs, courses for directors and supervisors and a Corporate Governance Scan, determining to what extent organizations comply with Codes Corporate Governance. 
 
Frank Kunneman, “In the Dutch Caribbean, the focus on transparency and compliance has been growing for several years. This is the right time for a multidisciplinary team with an appropriate range of services and products. With Robbert on board, we offer the entire range of advice.”
