Enterprise Risk as part of the “New Normal”

Recently Rausch’s Managing Partner interviewed the following influential Audit leaders in Enterprise Risk on the topic Enterprise Risk as part of the “New Normal.

CLICK HERE TO READ THE SESSION DESCRIPTION

As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, as leadership we need to assess Enterprise Risk as part of the “New Normal”. Companies need to re-examine and establish the governance of operations in the “new normal”. This must also become a top priority for GRC programs and organizational resilience. Enterprise Risk Management will need to adapt to pandemic-driven changes in external factors such as: supply chain restructuring, customer preferences, competitive dynamics, economic incentives, and geo-political pressures. Internal factors such as: new safety, sanitation and hygiene procedures, remote working capabilities, enhanced information security and new human resource demands must also be considered. Organizations must re-examine their entire risk universe and risk appetite. Executive leadership must also enable more frequent, data-driven communications from their risk management and operational management teams to ensure a raised level of organizational resilience.

PANELISTS:
  • Paul Sobel, Chairman At COSO – Committee Of Sponsoring Organizations
  • Alicia Wilson, Chief Audit Officer At Southwire
  • Ramzi Kanso, Vice President & Chief Audit Officer At Panasonic USA
  • Rick Machold, Former Chief Audit Executive Global Payments
  • Pierre Dait, Principal Internal Governance Controls At Rausch Advisory Services
