Restructuring Conference 2026: Insights and Key Takeaways

The Kroll Restructuring Conference 2026 examined “Capital Under Pressure,” highlighting systemic ruptures, fragile supply chains and the rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape. Andrew Neil’s keynote emphasized resilience through fortitude, autonomy and productivity, setting the stage for discussions on private credit, cyber risk and fraud.

Our leading panels revealed how capital stress reshapes markets and governance. Private credit’s expansion beyond banks offers opportunity but heightens fragility. Cyber incidents were reframed as capital events testing liquidity and trust. Fraud discussions underscored vigilance, transparency, and decisive action as essential to safeguarding value and organizational resilience.

 

Key Highlights

• Private credit growth beyond banks creates opportunity but demands disciplined oversight, protective covenants and strong risk management to withstand volatility and fragility.
• Cyber risk incidents must be treated as capital events, requiring proactive investment, decisive leadership, and governance to protect liquidity, assets and organizational trust.
• Fraud prevention depends on ethical culture, transparency, and vigilance, as ignoring warning signs erodes trust, damages reputation, and undermines long term financial stability.
