Axiom Groupe Conferences

Enterprise Risk Management 26 - 27 February 2009

Why this Conference?

Business operations continue to evolve rapidly, driven by a variety of internal and external drivers. Companies are under increasing pressure to better know their risk, compliance, audit and incidents, and link them to action. Early warning of potential risks, hazards or loss is more crucial than ever.

Enterprise Risk Management is most definitely starting to be more demanded by boards and senior management in Europe. Regulations as a result of corporate corruption, such as SOX & Basel II help to set up a framework for following good governance, but do not put it into practical business terms. ERM programs are very difficult to implement, assess and realise value since you are trying to quantify uncertainty.

This conference will allow you to benchmark best practices with selected key international companies to implement ERM and take ERM next generation level.

To foresee potential consequences from future events, make necessary changes to minimize risk, manage the negative fallout if an event materializes, and capitalize on the opportunities that it presents for growth’
