Finance directors - Finance matters

Welcome and introduction to finance directors’ seminar

Risk management: Why take the risk?
When events go wrong it costs money, effort and resources. Further down the line, mismanagement of risks affects an organisation’s strategic, operational and financial performance.
So what steps are you taking to address these risks?

This session outlines the necessary elements of an effective risk management framework, including an interactive, practical case study on running risk workshops with key business units within your organisation. Magique Risk Management software will record and analyse the workshop results. The session concludes with discussions on embedding a risk culture within all areas of your business.

Speakers:

yourself to succeed?
