Risk Oversight Best Practices: What Directors Want and Need to Know
02 December, 2010 | (01 hr)
Risk has become a hot button for boards of directors. Boards are increasing their demands to understand what risks the company faces and whether those risks are being effectively managed. Enterprise risk management (ERM) discussions at the board and audit committee go beyond knowing that there is a process today and instead focus on key strategic, operating and reputation risks. The Conference Board’s soon to be published Risk Oversight Handbook will focus on a number of these issues.
This webcast will discuss how boards provide effective oversight through:
- Pushing for a deep understanding of key risks
- Taking ownership to improve risk management in the organization
- Assuring that risk plans are up to date and ready to be acted on
Audience: Heads of Enterprise Risk Management, Corporate Secretaries, General Counsels, Independent Corporate Directors. Participants should have a working knowledge of board interaction with and oversight of risk processes to obtain the most value.
