Our Risk Oversight Agenda Questionnaire is an essential tool designed to empower boards of directors when navigating today’s increasingly complex and dynamic risk landscape. As organizations face rapid technological advancements, shifting market conditions and evolving regulatory requirements, effective risk oversight has never been more critical. This tool provides a focused, 10-question framework that encourages boards to critically examine their current processes, ensuring alignment with organizational priorities and resilience in the face of uncertainty. From evaluating changes in the company’s risk profile to assessing preparedness for extreme events, this questionnaire serves as a guide for boards to address both immediate and long-term risks.

What sets this resource apart is its ability to provoke meaningful discussions and foster proactive decision-making at the highest levels of governance. The questions delve into key areas such as emerging risks, cultural dynamics, incentive structures and the role of technology in shaping risk management strategies. Sample questions include:

• Has the company's risk profile changed?
