Masterclass: Mastering the Art of Risk Appetite: Crafting Powerful Statements and Dynamic Frameworks for Strategic Success

by Ramesh Pillai, GMD Friday Concepts

An effective Risk Appetite Framework is a cornerstone of strong risk management and governance, acting as a vital enabler for organizations seeking to drive performance and empower employees to make informed, risk-aware decisions at all levels. Despite its growing importance, there remains a surprising lack of consensus on what truly constitutes an effective risk appetite framework and how to craft meaningful risk appetite statements.

Organizations vary significantly in how they report risk appetite, but the concept is becoming increasingly valuable when aligned with business goals and strategic priorities. By integrating risk appetite into long-term business planning, boards and executives can enhance their discussions around risk and make more informed decisions. This masterclass will provide valuable guidance for Directors and risk professionals, helping them refine and strengthen their risk appetite statements for greater impact and effectiveness.
