New York (April 6, 2026) – To effectively support the achievement of strategic and business objectives, boards require a clear understanding of the organization’s most significant risks and its overall risk management capabilities, according to RIMS new Executive Report titled, “Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights That Matter.”
Authored by RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council (SERMC) members Suzanne Christensen, Joe Pugh and Trisha Sqrow, the report provides practical insights and guidance to risk practitioners responsible for reporting to their organization’s board of directors or overarching governance committees. To support this endeavor, the report offers strategies to address the following critical questions:
- How do you align risk reporting with the board’s role and expectations?
- What steps should be taken to sustain this alignment over time?
- How do you ensure reporting provides the board with the appropriate level of detail to support informed decision-making and fulfill their oversight responsibilities?
“It may take risk practitioners significant time and effort to identify and confirm board-level expectations, establish top-level consensus, and create the alignment needed to support ongoing board reporting and active engagement,” the report notes. “However, this work is critical to the success of board-level reporting, ongoing engagement with the board, and ultimately, to the success of the organization itself.”
At RISKWORLD, co-authors and SERMC leaders Trisha Sqrow and Joe Pugh will host a session exploring Board Risk Reporting strategies on Wednesday, May 6 at 12:00 p.m. The session is the latest addition to the conference’s Risk in Conversation education track.
The “Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights That Matter” executive report is exclusively available to RIMS members only for the next 30 days.
