Risk Management Seminars
The recent turbulent economic climate has meant that risk management has become a core competency for organisations and a pre-requisite for business success. Non-executive directors in particular play a critical role in challenging the effectiveness of risk management but often there is inadequate time, insufficient information and limited visibility of what really happens in practice.
These seminars will provide an update on the most recent developments in risk management and the practical implications for Audit Committee oversight and engagement. We will also share our practical insights and experience of the challenges faced by organisations in developing and maintaining effective risk management processes.
