Enterprise Risk Management

Emerging Governance and Enterprise Risk Management Practices

These are uncertain times.

Prior to the current economic crisis, compliance requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley and shareholder activism triggered a sea of change in corporate governance reforms.

Today, investors expect and demand more than regulatory compliance and ethical business practices from corporate governance and risk management. To remain viable, companies must be able to identify, assess, respond and monitor a myriad of challenges in real time. Strong corporate governance and risk management programs and practices must be embedded into the organizational fabric.

Governance and risk management practices protect the integrity of the organization, whether to attain strategic competitive advantage, maximize operational efficiency and effectiveness, optimize financial assets, or minimize potential director and officer liability, in addition to complying with an ever-growing list of regulatory requirements.

These are uncertain times. Times when corporate governance and enterprise risk management must become a top priority.
