Risk Management Workshops
8 CPEs/CEUs*
Organizations Struggle to Manage Compliance Risk . . .
There are a variety of risks the Titanic faced – overconfidence, poorly manufactured rivets, focus on speed while ignoring the external risk environment, inadequate design, and lack of someone diligently watching for icebergs. Organizations are in the same ‘boat’ today. The Titanic is a case study in risk management.
Unfortunately, many organizations are in the same state – they do not see a complete picture of the risks they face and therefore are ignorant of the significance of the number of compliance, legal, and operational risks they face. And when things go wrong there are not enough lifeboats . . .
Organizations continue to manage compliance risk in an ad hoc manner across distributed business units and processes that maintain compliance and risk data in a breadth of spreadsheets. Compliance risk processes (if deployed) are typically fragmented, inconsistent, and provide more of a burden than a benefit to the business and corporate compliance department. Individual compliance areas focus on their own view of risk and not the aggregate picture of risk, failing to recognize substantial and preventable losses.
Developing a Compliance Risk Assessment & Management Process . . .
Increasing demands to manage compliance risk requires an effective framework, process, strategy, and supporting technology to support a system of record to manage compliance risk in a systematic way – whether in a specific busines function/process or across the entire business.
