3813d75You can now book your place for the next IRM GRC SIG Keep-in-Touch call on 16 January at http://bit.ly/1k7LoWx 

Following on from the IRM GRC SIG’s own conclusions about the critical role of culture in influencing the effectiveness of a coordinated approach to governance, risk and compliance and IRM’s own recent risk culture thought leadership work, the SIG is privileged to have Professor Mike Power from LSE’s Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) with us for this session.

Professor Mike Power will lead a discussion on the topic of ‘risk culture in financial organisations’ drawing on the material in a report published in September 2013.

Key issues for consideration are:

– Risk culture: what is it and why does it matter?

Understanding risk culture as a suite of trade-offs

Risk culture and risk appetite: how do they relate to each other?

– Is risk culture really a regulatory culture?

    UPDATE: We had a great SIG session last week with very useful discussion and feedback … the presentation from Professor Mike Power from LSE’s Centre for the Analysis of Risk and Regulation (CARR) on “Risk Culture in Financial Organisations” was excellent and helped us debate where to focus our efforts over the coming months. One of the areas we will be researching in detail is how to demonstrate the value and associated opportunity costs from adopting a more coordinated, integrated and orchestrated approach to governance, risk and compliance. If you are interested in joining the SIG and being part of these discussions then let me know directly via email at robert_toogood@chaordicsolutions.com.
