What is Risk Management and Oversight?

Risk Management is broadly defined as anything that can prevent your company from achieving it’s objectives. Risk management is further defined as a continuous process to identify, analyze and evaluate loss exposures while monitoring the risk controls and the financial resources to mitigate the adverse effects of risks (e.g., losses).

Pragmatically, risk management of financial, operational, geopolitical, and strategic matters can be framed with a series of “What If” conversations whereby leaders:

  1. Understand likely root causes to then develop effective action plans and monitor risk controls
  2. Proactively identify, evaluate and execute plans to minimize risk outcomes (e.g., losses)

The Oversight component is the Board of Director’s monitoring and supervision of management’s execution of the enterprise risk management plans. The management team is responsible for assessing, forecasting, monitoring and controlling risk impact on the organization’s strategic goals (e.g., enterprise risk management).

We helped clients…

A healthcare insurer had an internal promotion which created the need for an on-demand resource to function as the liaison with external auditors for the year-end financial audit and manage SOC 1 audit reviews until a replacement was hired. Longview Leader’s audit and accounting experience permitted a quick ramp up to add value in the early days of the engagement. Project management capability was needed to organize and prioritize multiple simultaneous and interdependent work streams.

Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) is a priority risk because of the uncertainty and costs with third-party cyber risks. Having an effective risk based TPRM program reduces the negative impact on technology business decisions for customers and your financial solvency. Longview Leader developed a third-party risk management education program for a Fortune 500 company in the insurance sector. It brought strategic vigor around risk assessment elevating vendor due diligence.
