Risk Management in Canadian Charities: Understanding and Mitigating Risks
In this session we will address some of the emerging risks facing Canadian charitable organizations. These risks can impact the financial stability and reputation of the organization and its ability to achieve its mission. Examples of such risks include cyber threats, international travel and human resource challenges. Attendees will leave with tools to identify risks in their organizations as well as guidelines and best practices to mitigate and transfer these risks.
