Governance and Risk Management
Risk management processes in the public sector have been historically focused on internal controls, financial reporting, and testing. However, a number of other factors are now in play:
- changing public sentiment regarding government operations
- major budget reductions
- increased scrutiny over fraud, waste, and abuse of public money
- aging legacy technology and infrastructure.
A clear business case exists for proactively addressing the full range of risks that threaten a public sector organization's mission or impact its future funding.
