When we talk about “compliance and security," most companies want to ensure that steps are being taken to protect what they value most – people, data, real or personal property, intellectual property, digital assets, or any other number of other things - and it’s more important than ever that safeguards are in place. Let’s step back and focus on the idea that no matter how complicated the compliance and security regime, it should be able to be distilled down to a checklist.

When building your ERM program foundation, you need to answer questions like: Do we have robust board and management support? Do we understand and articulate our bank’s risk appetite and how that impacts our business units? How are we measuring and rating our risk impact, likelihood, and controls to mitigate our risk?

If you are an out-of-state business dealing with a delinquent debtor in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it’s a much more straightforward process than you might think to domesticate your judgment. However, it is still an uphill battle to have such a judgment enforced. Without a timely and efficient plan in place to enforce judgments , you could likely miss out on the monies owed to you, with your debtor feeling no sense of urgency to repay the outstanding accounts receivable.

Similarly, when customers fall behind on payments, it poses significant challenges for both the consumer and the business. All businesses, regardless of the industry, require timely and regular payments from customers to stay afloat.

Communication is a core component of a resilient organization's risk management framework. However, risk communication involves more than just reporting information and populating dashboards, and we may be limiting our skillset. Storytelling is the ability to express ideas and convey messages to others, including stakeholders. When done effectively, it can help interpret complex risk environments for leaders and inform their decision-making.

Between Santa shenanigans, special foods, long-distance travel and treats, holiday spending adds up quickly—and so does holiday debt. In 2019, shoppers in the US spent 3.4% more than they did in 2018. Unsurprisingly, they also ended up owing 8% more—roughly $1,325 per adult in 2019 versus just over $1,000 per adult in 2018. Unfortunately, holiday credit card debt lingers far longer than leftover turkey.
