Boards have a critical role in overseeing a company’s key risks—whether those risks fall into strategic, financial or operational buckets, or relate to regulatory compliance or other corporate obligations.
The board’s role in overseeing risk also continues to attract the attention of investors, regulators and other stakeholders, prompting calls for greater transparency. That means a thoughtful approach to risk oversight can bring real value to a company and its shareholders.
So how can your board refresh its risk approach to be more effective?
I’d like to share a whitepaper from PwC that outlines this important process. In this new report from their Governance Insights Center, key challenges are addressed along with how Boards should respond:
Highlights from the whitepaper include:
- How can a board reassure investors that it is overseeing risk effectively?
- Do directors’ backgrounds support effective risk oversight?
- Are any key risks falling through the cracks and not being overseen anywhere at the board level?
- Is too much of the board-level effort on risk focusing on compliance and regulatory matters?
It’s a free download, of course, along with all the whitepaper and eBooks in the Corporate Compliance Insights Resource Library
