Course Description
What
internal and external risks could impact the government organization, and what
approach can be used to uncover and alleviate such risks?
A risk
assessment is a great option for governmental entities to evaluate areas with
the greatest needs and highest risks – and mitigate those risks through
strengthening internal control, improving cybersecurity, focusing on resources, and other planning.
This online
CPE course is designed for individuals who would like to obtain a basic
understanding of the risks government entities face. One question that every
government organization has to answer is “What can go wrong”.
Risks can
come from employee errors, fraud, natural disasters, or other sources. How does a government organization identify
risk and determine its risk appetite? Not
all risks can be eliminated so how do we mitigate the negative effects of those
risks? How do we manage risks to reduce the consequences the government entity
may face from those risks?
Robert Minniti's CPE webinar covers an overview of risk
assessments and best practices for conducting a risk assessment. It also
discusses right-sizing the risk assessment process for your government entity,
how to identify risks, how to assess risk likelihood and impact, and how to
develop an action plan from your risk assessment results.
