Automating Risk and Compliance to Strategize on Uncertainty

21st July 2020, 11am BST

Where can you best leverage automation and AI in GRC? As companies shift to a proactive risk-based approach to measuring and managing risk, compliance can still take up a significant amount of resources. Find the right balance to enhance efficiencies across tasks, so that stakeholders can focus on the necessary human elements of evaluating and mitigating risk variables. In this webinar we'll review how organizations can leverage an agile GRC platform and identify some key areas to get started with AI, RPA and ML technology to streamline compliance management, help inform and execute certain decisions based on previous activity and data sets.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn how a multi-dimensional perspective of risk can help streamline your compliance efforts
• Where templates can leverage to fuel RPA and eliminate manual data collection
• What checks and balances should be instituted to safeguard AI practices and ensure quality data.

Managing 3rd Party & Supply Chain Risk
-Nicola Crawford

Extending business activities beyond organisational boundaries to create value for the organisation is not new. However, the quantity and complexity of the relationships that now exist beyond organisational boundaries is increasing, as is regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny – this can create significant third party risks that occur within an organisation’s supply chain and, as the current global pandemic has shown us, dealing with these can create significant challenges.

IRM Webinar - Latest thinking in supply chain risk management
-Carolyn Williams, Director of Corporate Relations

Not everyone could make it in person to our Risk Leaders conferences so we are offering our global membership and community a chance to hear from one of 2019's most popular speakers via a special, free to attend, IRM webinar, looking at the highly topical issue of supply chain risk management.

Professor Robert J Trent, Professor of Supply Chain Management at Lehigh University, Pennsylvania USA will be repeating his keynote presentation 'How Myopic Financial Strategies Increase Corporate Risk'.

Bob’s presentation will cover his research into supplier/customer relationships and will focus on the unintended consequences that can result when customers take actions that affect adversely the financial standing of their suppliers. Such financially myopic strategies increase corporate risk by encouraging retaliatory action and reducing the likelihood of receiving preferential treatment.

The webinar will also feature supply chain expert Nick Wildgoose BA(Hons) FCA FCIPS. Nick will look at the importance of comprehensive supply chain risk management as part of an organisation's ERM approach, including the importance of relationships and collaboration and how developments in technology and data availability are offering new solutions.

Risk Reporting
-Dr Simon Ashby

Are you looking at implementing a new risk reporting framework or update one that you have already? In this webinar we will explore some of the options that are available. Learn how to get the most from tools such as risk registers, risk and control indicators and risk matrices. Consider the options available when designing reports and identify the limitations of common risk reporting practices.

Risk reporting is an important output from the risk management process and should be a key input into both strategic and operational decision making. But if the wrong tools are used or reports are poorly designed then reporting can do more harm than good. Are your reporting arrangements adding value to management decision making and promoting intelligent conversations about risk tasking and control or are they little more than a procedural exercise?

People Risk
-Grant Kennedy & Dr Aarti Anhal

People are the single most important asset in any organisation, yet they can often be the most vulnerable. The opportunities and threats people present to the operations and strategic objectives of their organisations constitute "people risk" – an area of risk often ignored because of the perceived complexities involved in managing it effectively. This webinar will focus on "risk intelligence", which refers to the way in which an individual's values, risk competences and behaviours come together to drive their perception of risk, approach to risk-based thinking and decision-making. This webinar will introduce the diagnostic tools that can be used by organisations to evaluate the "risk intelligence" of staff, whether in the operational 1st Line, the 2nd line's risk and compliance functions or senior management.

Understanding and Managing Risk Culture
-Dr Simon Ashby

IRM is leading the debate on risk culture. Drawing upon the wealth of practical experience and expert knowledge across the institute, we have developed guidance for organisations wanting a greater understanding of their own risk culture and practical tools that can be applied to drive change.

As seen in the business press every day, embedding risk management into an organisation to the extent that it reliably makes a difference is a difficult task. To achieve this, boards must keep how to manage risks high on their agenda, and to continue asking themselves, whether they have the right culture, people and processes.

What do we mean by risk culture?
Risk culture is a term describing the values, beliefs, knowledge, attitudes and understanding about risk shared by a group of people with a common purpose, in particular the employees of an organisation. This applies to all organisations from private companies, public bodies, governments to not-for-profits.

What does a good risk culture look like?
An effective risk culture is one that enables and rewards individuals and groups for taking the right risks in an informed manner.
