Compliance Risk Assessment and Management

 

The goal of the workshop:

Compliance risk assessment is a key step in implementing an effective, proactive, and sustainable compliance program. It helps organizations understand the full range of risk exposure, including the likelihood that the risk may occur, the reasons for its occurrence, and the potential severity of its impact. Effective compliance risk assessment also helps organizations prioritize, map these risks to appropriate risk owners, and efficiently allocate resources to mitigate risks.
