The IOR is delighted to announce the release of the latest in a series of Sound Practice Guides for risk managers. These guides explain how risk culture may be identified, assessed, and controlled to help reduce the frequency and severity of operational risk events.

In 2019, the IRM Innovation Special Interest Group (SIG) explored the theme of organisational resilience. Their work focused on understanding how UK organisations defined and how they were developing resilience. Through this project, the Innovation Group has reviewed guidelines, professional standards, white papers, books, consultancy reports and interviewed risk managers, CROs, Board members and consultants.

At a time when managing risk is at the forefront of every leader's strategic decision making, the leading professional body for risk management, the IRM, has appointed a new independent non-executive chair.
