Risky Business

Government is inherently risk averse, but are we sufficiently risk aware? Recent guidance from GAO and OMB calls for a principles-based approach to managing risk. What is actually required and how do we incorporate risk management into our planning, operations and reporting? In this interactive session OMB policy makers define the ‘what’ and government risk management experts provide their thoughts on the ‘how’ of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). In this viewcast, you will learn:

• Specific information on revisions to OMB Circulars A-11 and A-123
• Practical examples from established, and developing Enterprise Risk Management programs
• Lessons learned and best practices to consider when incorporating risk management into your programs and operations

At the conclusion of the viewcast, there will be an opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session with the panel - so don't forget to tweet your questions using #riskawaregov and tag @GrantThorntonUS and/or @GovExecEvents.
