Overview
We tend to focus on fighting today’s fires without spending adequate time on more significant, more important risks inherent in today’s interconnected, competitive world. Examine four commonly overlooked business risks, looking at how to anticipate, manage, mitigate or exploit them. Discuss the professional obligations of the board and executive management to assess risks and the responsibility of internal and external auditors to evaluate the adequacy of these assessments.
Prerequisite
Participants should have at least six months of industry or public experience and a thorough knowledge of financial accounting principles and practices. Management experience will be helpful.
