Shifting To A Continuous Risk-Assessment Approach
Featuring: Jason Mefford, CEO, cRisk Academy | President, Mefford Associates
The annual risk assessment that gets filed away and forgotten about until next year has been the standard practice for assessing risk for decades — and is still the practice of many organizations. With increasing velocity and frequency of risk events, the global interdependency of organizations, and the changing business environment, this once-and-done approach just doesn’t work anymore.
In this webinar, Jason Mefford, an expert in internal audit, risk management, and compliance, will share how to:
- Better understand the drivers behind risk events and impacts.
- Use the knock-out punch method to shift to continuous assessment.
- Incorporate analytics and indicators into dashboards.
- Facilitate discussions in a remote work environment.
Speakers:
Jason Mefford, CEO, cRisk Academy | President, Mefford Associates
