Risk and Compliance Week (LIVE IN ATLANTA)

Learn ISO 31000 Enterprise Risk Management, and how to leverage the ISO 31000 standard to establish and maintain an ERM program for conducting risk assessments throughout the enterprise.

Then build-out the initial risk program policy right in class! 

A successful risk management initiative can affect the likelihood and consequences of risks materializing, as well as deliver benefits related to better informed strategic decisions, successful delivery of change and increased operational efficiency. Other benefits include reduced cost of capital, more accurate financial reporting, competitive advantage, improved perception of the organization, better marketplace presence and, in the case of public service organizations, enhanced political and community support. 

And since information security, business continuity/disaster recovery, environmental health and safety, and other critical management systems have the primary purpose of identifying and treating risk, it is essential that your organization establish a common platform and approach for managing risk.

Get trained and certified in establishing, managing, operating, and auditing an ISO 37301 Compliance Management System

Every day, organizations face the ever-increasing need to manage and fulfil regulatory and industry requirements to allow them to conduct business. "Compliance" is no longer simply a legal concern isolated to a legal compliance unit. After all, how the organization operates determines its ability to comply with external stakeholder requirements. This means that compliance requirements permeate all business activities - from procurement, to human resource management, to information management, to manufacturing processes, to environmental management - and on and on. Since complying with one requirement can impact compliance with another requirement, compliance with all of the various requirements in total gets quite complicated. Compliance must be very carefully designed, managed, and monitored - throughout the organization. 

Managing compliance is inexorably linked to managing risk.

Whether fulfilling legal filing and reporting requirements, protecting health and safety, or maintaining quality in manufacturing, we are inevitably managing risk - the uncertainty of successful achieving our objectives. Governmental regulation, industry standards of best practice, and even normal service contracts all exist primarily to ensure the organization manages risk appropriately within externally mandated tolerances. Today, organizations need a mature and well-structured approach to integrating compliance and risk management throughout the enterprise. Not coincidentally, this results in good governance.

What is the ISO 37301 standard?

Developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization in 2021, this standard provides guidance for establishing, developing, implementing, evaluating, maintaining and improving an effective and responsive risk-based compliance management system within an organization. The guidelines on compliance management systems are applicable to all types of organizations. The extent of the application of these guidelines depends on the size, structure, nature and complexity of the organization. ISO 37301 is based on the principles of good governance, proportionality, transparency and sustainability.

Compliance management goes beyond the mere satisfaction of legal requirements. Compliance is also related to meeting the needs and expectations of a wide range of stakeholders. Therefore, making sound choices and setting priorities appropriately is an important part of effective compliance management. The standard takes a risk-based approach to compliance management. As a result, it aligns with ISO 31000 Risk Management – Principles and guidelines, which according to ISO, “provides principles, framework and a process for managing risk.” In conjunction with ISO Standard 31000 (Enterprise Risk Management), This standard is used to establish a formal enterprise wide management system for Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) that will effectively and measurably  improve organizational performance. Since such a program is designed and operated to well-recognized international standards of best practices for GRC, the organization also achieves greater confidence and respect among stakeholders including investors, lenders, regulators, suppliers, customers, and trading partners just to name a few.

ISO 37301 integrates risk assessments, the risk management process, and compliance management. By following ISO risk management practices, organizations embed compliance within the risk-based process. This is an important characteristic of effective compliance management, because it breaks down silos and allows the organization to focus on root-cause risks. This streamlines the compliance process, making it easier to meet the obligations of not only government entities, but the host organization’s own internal code of ethics and its social responsibility objectives.

How do we get started?

Running an organization requires leadership and teamwork across the entire organization - not just a piece of it. Likewise, establishing, managing, and integrating effective GRC throughout the enterprise requires the same leadership and team members to be trained to support effective GRC together.
