Risk is a far more complex and demanding issue than it was ten
years ago. Risk managers may have expertise in the general aspects
of risk management and in the specifics that relate directly to their
business, but they are much less likely to understand other more
specialist risks. Equally, Company Directors may find themselves
falling down in their duty to manage risk because they don’t have
enough knowledge to be able to talk to their risk team in a sensible
way.
The short guides to risk are not going to make either of these groups
experts in the subject but will give them plenty to get started and in
a format and an extent (circa 100 pages) that is readily digested.
Titles in the series will include:
Climate Risk
Compliance Risk
Employee Risk
Environmental Risk
Fraud Risk
Information Risk
Intellectual Property Risk
Kidnap and Ransom Risk
Operational Risk
Purchasing Risk
Reputation Risk
