The value of assessing Inherent, Residual and Targeted risks has been subject to much debate. In this webinar, we discuss the concepts of each level of risk and how each can best be used in a risk management framework to add value.
Professional hacks for overcoming common issues in using Inherent Risk will be discussed.
One of the common issues that comes out of running a risk management program is difficulty in producing an overall risk profile which can be presented to the board and management. This is often caused by disconnected risk data and can often be traced back to confusing and inconsistent taxonomies.
Watch the recording and learn how building and implementing strong risk and control taxonomies in your organisation can immensely help in aggregating information up to the highest level.
