Choose the right perspective
Match the person's setting to yours, since a regulated bank's ERM function works under supervisory expectations that a nonfinancial company may not face. Also decide whether you need help designing a program from scratch or improving one that already exists, and ask each person which of those they have done.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How did you define the company's risk appetite, and how is it used in real business decisions?
- 02How do you keep the risk register and top risk list current without turning it into a box-ticking exercise?
- 03What do you report to the executive team and the board about enterprise risk, and how often?
