Risk Management – this single objective is critical
to the success of both commercial and government organizations.
The need to proactively manage risk has increased in importance
recently due to several factors – including high-profile
business failures, government breakdowns in security and
the rise in terrorism, and the increasing amounts of regulation
being mandated by various governments.
As a professional in the business world, you need to be
concerned about risk on three fronts:
•
Financial –
Many large corporations have served as examples of what
can happen when you have poorcontrol over accounting
processes and inadequate corporate governance. The impact
on stock price,company valuation and cash flow can be
devastating.
•
Organizational – How do
you measure the impact that a scandal has on your brand,
your reputation, customer loyalty and employee productivity?
While it is difficult to put a price tag on the value
of these intangible assets, most managers will
agree that a significant hit to any one of these areas
can severely impact market share and profitability –
sometimes so severely that it results in organizational
shutdown.
•
Personal – Suddenly it
is not just about business anymore. As a manager, failure
on your part to adequatelymanage risk in your organization
can result in loss of your job, tarnishing of your reputation,
and legalactions that could lead to jail time.
With so much at stake, it is not surprising that risk management
and compliance have risen to the top of the priority list
for just about every business and government executive.
But with so much information flowing through your organization,
so many disparate systems running various processes, and
so many people involved in the running of your business,
how can you even begin to gain the control necessary to
meet internal and external risk and compliance initiatives?
