Risk Management

Not-for-profit organisations must manage their governance and operational risks.

UNDERSTANDING RISKS THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR ASSOCIATION
  • Association committees or Boards must grasp potential risks affecting association performance.
  • Ensure effective risk management strategies, policies, and plans are in place.
  • Confidence in managing legal or strategic risks is crucial.
  • Consider establishing a risk management subcommittee if resources allow.
  • Subcommittee should include a Board member and skilled association member representatives. Their role is to review supplier contracts, conduct due diligence, and offer recommendations based on risk assessments.
ESSENTIAL POLICIES FOR YOUR ASSOCIATION
  • Code of Conduct
  • Accountabilities
  • Privacy Policy
  • Media Policy
  • Workplace Health and Safety Policy
  • Finance Policy
  • Board Remuneration Policy
  • Travel Policy
  • Contract and Supplier Policy
