The State of California recently enacted legislation that is expected to significantly impact corporate climate reporting and accountability policies and programs for organizations that conduct business in the state. As the first laws of their kind in the U.S., the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act (CCDAA) and the Climate Related Financial Risk Act (CRFRA) require companies to be transparent about greenhouse gas emissions and the financial risks associated with climate change.

These groundbreaking laws pose new challenges for businesses operating in California, considering steep fines of up to $500,000 per violation. The responsibility for ensuring compliance with these laws rests squarely on the shoulders of the risk, compliance, and sustainability leaders within your organization. For many organizations, this is uncharted territory that will challenge existing compliance and sustainability programs to understand what is required and adapt accordingly. Yet, in this challenge lies an opportunity for you to lead the way in corporate accountability and sustainability.

We invite you to join Verdantix and Archer for this webinar, “California’s Climate Change Legislation: What Your Business Needs to Know” to:
• Gain an understanding of the key provisions of California's new regulations and how they impact your organization's compliance and sustainability reporting.
• Discover the broader implications of these groundbreaking California laws on corporate climate reporting, accountability, and sustainability programs.
• Learn about technology that can help you manage and advance your ESG program.

More investment portfolio managers are recognizing that ESG factors can have a material impact on a company’s long-term financial performance. Companies with strong ESG practices may be better positioned to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities, while those with weak ESG practices may face reputational and regulatory risks that could negatively impact financial performance.

Institutional investors are also under increasing pressure from stakeholders to consider ESG factors in investment decisions. As a result, measuring and managing companies’ ESG practices and performance has become an important consideration and essential component of portfolio managers’ fiduciary responsibilities. However, implementing this strategy is a considerable undertaking, with significant challenges including alignment of ESG priorities, tedious manual data collection processes, and insufficient analytics and insights into ESG performance.

Tackle the Top 4 Supply Chain Risks with Effective Third-Party Risk Management

Third-party risk is a growing concern for businesses. Increasing reliance on vendors has resulted in a heightened risk landscape that spans from data breaches to compliance violations. In addition, with the increasing significance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, many organizations must also ensure third-party suppliers’ adherence to their ESG objectives.

Despite these challenges, many organizations still rely on traditional methods of risk management such as onboarding controls and infrequent assessments. However, given the pace and complexity of modern business operations, these methods may not be sufficient. To effectively manage risks from third-party vendors, organizations must incorporate continuous monitoring into their risk management strategy. This method requires ongoing, proactive monitoring of vendors throughout their lifecycle to ensure timely and accurate insights into associated risks.

Join us for this webinar to:
• Learn how continuous monitoring can transform your organization’s third-party risk management strategy.
• Discover best practices for implementing continuous monitoring most effectively.
• Explore how Archer can elevate your third-party risk management program to keep you ahead of third-party risks.

Third Party Continuous Monitoring: Benefits & Best Practices w Michael Rasmussen

Organizations have long recognized the need to standardize risk management practices for consistency in identifying and analyzing risks in enterprise risk management (ERM) programs. Today, most organizations currently use qualitative or semi-quantitative assessments, which are repeatable and scalable, but can be coarse, unauditable, highly subjective, and ambiguous. This results in a highly fragmented representation of the organization’s risk landscape.
 
Quantitative risk assessments provide a more detailed and auditable representation of risk. They can be easily aggregated and help to address the costs and benefits of mitigating risks in economic terms. However, incorporating quantitative assessments can be challenging for many organizations, as they may not see the value and think it is only for those with extensive data and experience.
 
Join Archer experts Graeme Keith, Shelley Migliore and Steve Schlarman for this webinar to learn practical methods for adopting quantitative risk assessment into your ERM program.

• Learn the important role and benefits of risk quantification in assessing, representing, and analyzing risks.
• Discover how you can make informed decisions at an enterprise level through quantification.
• Get practical steps to merge quantification techniques into your existing programs and workflows.

How to Incorporate Quantitative Risk Assessment in Enterprise Risk Management

The exponential rise in ESG and sustainability interests and investments has overwhelmed many organisations, governments, and regulators.  Everyone seems to have a “green”, or “sustainable” product, or initiative with insufficient guidance, or regulation.

Legislators and regulators are playing catch-up and the pace of regulatory change is accelerating with previously unseen levels of co-operation across political parties, governing bodies, and nations.  Governance is coming to the fore on multiple fronts, including legislation, accounting standards and frameworks, and litigation.  The governance that has long been assumed is now in the process of being defined and solidified.

• Greenwashing from a risk standpoint with CPG 229 and ASIC INFO 170 
• Steps to safeguard your organisation with best practices in your ESG risk and compliance programme

Galvanising the "G" in ESG

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a crucial process for any business, but relying solely on qualitative assessments can leave you with a fragmented and incomplete picture of your risks. That's where quantification comes in, providing a powerful solution to enhance your ERM process.

In this session you'll discover the transformative power of quantitative assessment. We'll explore how quantitative analysis can provide a more comprehensive view of your risks, allowing you to collate assessments in a meaningful and quantifiable way.

We will also discuss:
 
How qualitative versus quantitative is not a choice – you really have to do both

The advantages of quant assessment over qualitative in terms of vastly improved granularity for comparison and prioritization of risk, assessing cost of controls versus benefits, and in terms of being able to aggregate risks across parts of the organization in order to understand where in an organization risk exposure resides. 

The difference between mathematical modelling of individual risks and quantification of an ERM program and how these two activities are quite different, both in terms of how they’re carried out, who carries them out and what they’re trying to achieve

Quantification in Enterprise Risk Management

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated the pace of digital transformation and with this comes increased security and IT risk, causing significant disruption to organisations, join Archer's Steve Schlarman as he discusses the seven components of an integrated risk approach, some of which are:

* Third party security monitoring - managing supply chains and assessing risk
* IT and security policy management - providing awareness and training and implementing information protection processes and procedures 
* Cyber incident and breach response - planning responses, providing improvements and analysis and mitigating risks

IT and Security Risk Management - Seven components of an integrated approach

Supply chain risk continues to become more complex as organizations increasingly rely on third parties to provide business-critical products and services. Current challenges – including changing economic  conditions, geopolitical uncertainty, and natural disasters – have only amplified the global impact of supply chain logistics.

Disruptions from any one of many third parties can significantly impact your organization’s supply chain and increase the organization’s risk exposure. Your organization’s ability to effectively identify, assess, monitor and mitigate supply chain risk is critical in implementing a holistic third-party risk management program.

ESG regulations continue to move forward, in efforts to drive organizations to provide high quality reporting and to reinforce a culture of greater public accountability. Expected to go into effect in 2024, the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces more detailed reporting requirements for more companies. CSRD will impact more than 50,000 companies in Europe, as well as companies based abroad that have a presence in the EU.

With CSRD and other ESG mandates on the horizon, now is the time for organizations to address key questions:  What should our business be doing now to prepare for mandatory ESG reporting? What challenges does ESG data disclosure create for our organization and how do we address them? How can we bring efficiency and centralization to our corporate ESG program?

Join Archer’s Tahmina Day and Anna Gurevich to learn about:
• The expected impact of upcoming ESG reporting and regulatory enforcement
• The critical role of risk management in the success of corporate ESG programs

Webinar: ESG in the EU - Preparing for Mandatory Reporting

Organizations across the world continue to deal with the significant impacts of a global financial crisis, a pandemic, supply chain disruptions, increasing cyberattacks and more. While many have relied on traditional business recovery to withstand these and other factors, this confluence of threats has shown that disruption can be prolonged and evolving. The paradigm for has shifted from ‘if’ disruption will occur to ‘when’ it will occur. 

Traditional approaches to recovering after disruption are vital -- but they are no longer enough. Organizations need to ask:  Are we proactively dealing with threats and risks? What do we need to do to build resilience? How do we know when we’re resilient enough? There are no quick or easy answers, but there are important steps your organization must take.

Join Archer for this webinar to learn how to:
• Focus on making your organization’s highest priorities resilient
• Identify risks and threats that could impact your organization
• Ensure the right mix of mitigation and response to reduce impacts

How to Build Business Resilience Beyond Recovery

Bei einem Blick auf die verschiedenen Regulierungen im Bereich Risikomanagement wird schnell klar: Die Erkennung bestandsgefährdender Risiken im Rahmen einer Risikofrüherkennung ist der zentrale Punkt.
Um bestandsgefährdende Risiken, bzw. eine bestandsgefährdende Risikoposition zu erkennen, ist es notwendig diese der Risikotragfähigkeit gegenüberzustellen. Unter Risikotragfähigkeit wird der maximal mögliche Verlust verstanden, der gerade noch durch die Liquiditätsreserven abgedeckt ist, eine Zahl, die im Unternehmen bei ordnungsgemäßer Buchführung natürlich vorhanden ist.
Hier wird klar, dass das qualitative Risikomanagement an seine Grenzen stößt. Wie sollte es möglich sein, die Gesamtrisikoposition zu ermitteln und der Risikotragfähigkeit gegenüberzustellen, wenn das Risikomanagement mitteilt, dass einzelnen Risiken einen hohe, eine mittlere oder eine geringe Auswirkung haben, ergeben 5 hohe und 12 mittlere Risiken eine mögliche Bestandsgefährdung, also eine Risikoposition die höher ist als die Risikotragfähigkeit?
Es ist auch nicht selten der Fall, dass obwohl kein einziges bekanntes Risiko eine Bestandsgefährdung an sich darstellt, die Kombination von Einzelrisken aber durchaus dazu führen kann, dass eine Bestandsgefährdung des Unternehmens vorliegt. 
Für die Risikomanager eines Unternehmens bedeutet dies eine zusätzliche Belastung, da die möglichst exakte Bestimmung der quantitativen Risikoposition und der Wechselwirkungen bzw. Abhängigkeiten zwischen den Risiken ebenfalls berücksichtigt werden muss.
Wie Sie diese zugegebenermaßen hohe Anforderung bewältigen können, möchten Ihnen Deloitte und Archer im Webinar „Risikoquantifizierung - Simulation des Risikoprofils und der Risikotragfähigkeit als regulatorische Anforderung“ am 23. Februar 2023 um 16.00 Uhr zeigen.
Dieses Webinar ist kostenlos und richtet Sich an Verantwortliche für die Bereiche Risikomanagement, Controlling und Konzernstrategie.
