t is crucial that Boards of Directors are well-versed on the risks
confronting their companies, but changing risk landscapes create
challenges. Failure to understand high-risk areas and risk-mitigation
procedures can decrease the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight of
management and its ability to constructively challenge proposed changes
in the best interest of the company. Asking the following three questions
can help educate Board members on existing risks and procedures to make
sure the entire committee is on the same page.
1. How is our organization identifying risks across the enterprise?
Boards need to understand risks across their entire organization and
be aware of how they can affect operations and profitability. A Board can’t
evaluate these risks, however, if the organization hasn’t identified what they
are. Pinpointing risk factors early allows time to plan mitigation strategies,
which could save your business from potential disruptions in the future.
