Description

In today’s rapidly evolving risk landscape, business leaders are navigating complexities that are more dynamic and interconnected than ever before. Recent studies show that 83% of risk professionals believe risks are emerging more rapidly, and 81% of companies acknowledge that risks in other sectors impact their business. Cyber-attacks have surged by 67% over the past five years, organizations face an average of 220 regulatory alerts per day, and there’s been a staggering 473.5% increase in companies citing AI as a risk factor in their SEC filings.

Just as the automotive industry has transitioned from manual driving to autonomous vehicles, Integrated Risk Management (IRM) is undergoing a significant transformation. Organizations are moving from manual, spreadsheet-based processes to intelligent, autonomous IRM systems that proactively identify and mitigate risks. This evolution enables business leaders across all functions—operations, finance, technology, compliance, and more—to drive their organizations forward with greater confidence and agility.

Join John A. Wheeler, founder and CEO of Wheelhouse Advisors, as he explores how autonomous IRM technology is reshaping the future of risk management. Learn how AuditBoard’s Connected Risk platform empowers business leaders to break down silos, enhance collaboration, and navigate the complexities of today’s risk environment with a proactive and strategic approach.
