Why is risk management in corporate governance important?
Most organisations face risk in their day-to-day activities. It shows they’re open to change and innovation. Risk management pinpoints and helps to prepare for risk, so that there’s no negative impact. A board with a good risk response strategy sets itself up for success.
Identify
No board knows for sure the outcome of risk, so a risk management strategy is essential to identify different outcome scenarios.
Assess
Knowing which risks make sense for the organisation and which are reckless takes time and a broad combination of skillsets to get right.
Control
A board that asks the right questions will have proper oversight of risk and its outcome for the organisation.
Become a smarter and more effective corporate governance leader. Fully understand risk management in corporate governance, and how to implement it effectively in your organisation.
