Speaker Details:
A spotlight on ISACA's new framework, Risk-IT
Guest Speaker:  Steven Babb, KPMG

IT risk is receiving growing attention from executive management, risk managers, regulators etc. The COBIT® Framework provides a generally accepted control framework (amongst many other things), but it does not provide the full detail required for comprehensive risk management. 

In this session, you will find out about ITGI's newest initiative: a new IT related risk management framework.  Steven will discuss the issues around IT related risks, which standards and frameworks address this risk, which elements are still lacking, and how the new framework will address these issues.

Steven Babb is a senior manager in KPMG's IT Advisory practice and works in their risk and compliance team.  He has worked in the IT industry for over 20 years and has been working with KPMG since 1996.  He is the global account manager on a telecoms client, as well as having a number of internal audit external audit responsibilities.  In addition to his client facing responsibilities, he leads on IT risk management activity across the UK.  He has worked with ISACA on the development of their RiskIT framework and is now working with them further; Steven sits on their Framework committee, which is responsible for overseeing the on-going development of ISACA's frameworks and also on their Cobit  Task force, which is responsible for the development of COBIT5.

ERM – what should really keep you awake at night?
Guest Speaker:  Chris Burt, Halex Business Risk Services

Risk management hasn't had a good press recently.  Many commentators blame the failure of the banks' risk management processes for the credit crunch and resultant recession.  But is that fair? 

Business is about taking risks - without it there would be no reward.  However, if you do not properly understand the risks your business faces then you may be exposing your organisation to unintended damage and possible losses.  An effective enterprise risk management framework can help management to minimise unnecessary costs and avoid shocks to your business.

Chris Burt, of Halex Business Risk Services, is an expert in ERM having successfully implemented and consulted on it with a number of the UK and Europe's largest organisations.  In his presentation, Chris will outline the keys to successful implementation and operation of ERM, as well as pointing out some of the common pitfalls.  Chris will also provide a brief overview of one of the latest ERM tools to demonstrate how guidance materials such as COBIT can support an organisation in developing and embedding an effective ERM framework.

There May be Trouble Ahead...
Guest Speaker: Cathy Brown, BT

This presentation will look at Risk Management in an uncertain world. With the clouds of economic, social and environmental instability already on us, the author takes a look at traditional Risk Management disciplines and processes, gives an overview of common IT Risks in the current climate and assesses the contribution that Capacity and Performance Management can make to successful management of IT and corporate risks such as recession and climate change.

Cathy Brown is an Executive IT Auditor with BT. As well as her CISA accreditation, she holds the ITIL V3 Managers Certificate and COBIT accreditation. Cathy is a member of the British Standards Institute review panel for ISO20000 and is a regular speaker on IT Service Management, Auditing and Control activities
