Risk management information for charities
We are keen to develop our initial thought leadership for the Charity/Not for Profit Sector and we want to start by asking the Sector to complete a survey to assess how risk mature the sector is. Once we have sufficient critical mass of respondents we will then develop this into an assessment of the current picture and how we can help organisations as they move through the spectrum of maturity. It will also help us to focus our 2013 events.
So please can you just take a moment to answer a very few questions for us. Take the survey.

Risk Culture for Charities
Risk culture has become the most important contemporary risk management subject. Repeatedly singled out as a common factor amongst an ever growing list of corporate failures. This seminar offers an opportunity for charities to gain an insight into the theory of risk culture and consider the practical ways in which an appropriate risk culture can be developed and implemented.

Group aims and objectives
As anyone working for a large charity will know, the SORP 2000 introduced a requirement for trustees to state, in their charity’s annual report, that: "..the major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks."
The Charity Commission also recommends that all charities large or small take risk management into account as best practice. With circa 90% of the 180,000 charities registered in the UK earning less than £10,000 a year, there are a lot of small charities out that don’t have the resources to put in place complicated risk management programmes.
Risk management may sound like management speak, but it is really a very simple concept: work out what you are aiming to do, identify the risks affecting your goals and then consider what, if anything, you need to do about them in order of biggest first. Every charity has risks and our aim is to try and put together straight forward, accessible advice for the sector and to highlight the positive contribution that effective, appropriate risk management can make to a charity. This advice will be put together using the wealth of experience and knowledge that the members of the Group possess. Our members include people from charities, organisations that support charities and risk management consultancies.
