Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) for Nonprofits 

There are risks in everything we do and one thing that Big Business does well is develop strategies to minimize the impact of them. So, what are you doing to minimize the risk in your nonprofit organization? These existential threats include competition, regulations, human resources, financial loss, theft, changing technologies & funding, and cyber-threats just to name a few.

In this roundtable we will discuss the importance of risk assessment in understanding risks and how to measure them, develop a plan to manage risks and how to implement them. During this program you will also learn the importance of this process in protecting your nonprofit from an uncertain future and be introduced to a risk reduction tool. We will look at some case studies and you will leave with the framework on how you can implement a risk management program in your own organization.

Our discussion leader will be Scott Haumersen, CPA, Partner at Wegner CPAs. For more than 30 years, through his excellent service, Scott has enjoyed helping non-profit organizations solve problems, find efficiencies by cutting costs and reach their potential.
