Abstract

Directors need to ensure that boards do not overlook certain areas of risk, including those that relate to their own activities and practices, such as thought and relationship risks; risks relating to purpose, priorities and values; board practice and understanding risk; business model, structure and process risk; compliance, accounting and reporting risk; decision and opportunity risk; and shared and changing risks. These risks may not appear among the ‘usual suspects’ on risk registers and yet they can be essential for effective and responsible decision making and for resilience, ethical conduct and sustainability.

Before acting, directors should think through the implications of board decisions and the consequences of corporate activities. Risk management should support responsible decision making. It should encourage rather than inhibit the flexibility, openness and innovation required for enterprise resilience and responsible conduct in the face of evolving challenges and potential opportunities.
