Common Objectives of the Chief Risk Officer & Chief Audit Executive

John A. Wheeler of Wheelhouse Advisors delivered a presentation this week at the 2009 Institute of Internal Auditors Conference in San Diego, California.  His presentation focused on the common objectives of the Chief Risk Officer and the Chief Audit Executive in today's perilous global economy.  Key discussion topics included:

1. Learning about the evolving role of the Chief Risk Officer (“CRO”) both before and during the current global economic crisis


2. Developing an understanding of the complementary aspects of the CRO and Chief Audit Executive (“CAE”) roles, as well as the potential conflicts to avoid


3. Discovering strategies and critical success factors for an effective CRO & CAE partnership

Given the increase in both complexity and interrelationships of risks across corporations, an effective relationship between these two executive roles and their organizations is vital.  Wheelhouse Advisors provides cost-effective solutions to enable strong relationships in support of robust ERM programs.  To learn more, visit www.WheelhouseAdvisors.com.
