The Gold Standard for the Risk Committee-A Red Hot Issue

Central to corporate Board discussion today is the evolving best practices for Enterprise Risk Management. Some companies have developed disciplines and doctrines of risk management and practice them regularly. As the government is considering rules that could require a board level �risk committee,� directors are facing one of the most challenging business and shareholder environments in history. In the context of global risk, the panel will address a continuum of issues to include:

� What is risk today? Do risk tolerance levels exist?

� How to establish appropriate governance structures to address a wide range of risk issues? Beyond the Audit Committee�s focus on risk, what does a board need to do to anticipate and manage a wide definition of risk?

� How do you know if a Board�s ERM Committee and corporate programs are working?

� What should Board directors expect from management in establishing and reporting corporate risk?

� What does your company have in place as an emergency-preparedness program? What communication procedures & processes are in place to address risk issues in real time?

� Has leadership succession risks been adequately addressed? How are regulatory risks assessed and measured?
