From risk data to decisions: Turning insight into action.
Thursday 30 July 2026 | 11:00am-12:00pm AEST/BST/EDT
Learn how to design dashboards, analytics and connected risk data around clearer decisions, better questions and earlier action.
Turning risk data into actionable insight
Risk teams have more data than ever, but more data does not automatically lead to better decisions. This session explores how to turn connected risk information into clear, audience-aware insight that guides action, from Line 1 task views to executive dashboards and board reporting. The goal is not to show everything, but to show what matters, when it matters, so people can act with confidence.
In this webinar, Michael Howell, Head of Risk Research and Knowledge, and Matthew Washington, Senior Manager of Business Intelligence, EMEA, will explore how organisations can move beyond static reporting and design dashboards, analytics and connected risk data around better decisions.
Find out:
-
Design risk dashboards around the audience, decision and action they need to support
-
Connect risks, controls, incidents, KRIs, issues, actions and attestations into a clearer risk picture
-
Use role-based reporting to give Line 1, Risk, Compliance, executives and the board the insight they need
- Focus reporting on assurance, red flags, decision-making and accountability
- Turn dashboards into a starting point for better questions, earlier intervention and clearer action

“Risk reporting should do more than describe what happened. It should help people see what matters, ask better questions and act before small signals become bigger problems.” – Michael Howell, Head of Risk Research and Knowledge, Protecht
Where should the next control dollar go?
Control libraries keep growing. Testing activity keeps expanding. Assurance expectations keep rising.
But one question often remains difficult to answer: which controls are actually worth the time, cost and effort?
The problem is not usually a lack of controls. It is the lack of a clear way to compare their value.
At the same time, expectations are rising. Businesses are under pressure to demonstrate that controls are effective, proportionate and aligned to business objectives. More controls do not automatically mean better risk management. In some cases, they create duplication, fatigue and false comfort.
This webinar explores how you can think more clearly about control value, control investment and the role of controls in achieving better business outcomes.
