Consultants – they can either be the bane of your existence, or they can be a life saver. You probably could share both success stories and (hopefully only) one or two horror stories.

Yet Principle 21 of COSO’s draft framework, while containing some good ideas, pushes companies toward the same old mistakes that have plagued risk management for years. Let me be clear: linking risk to strategy is smart. Looking at both threats and opportunities makes sense. Getting timely updates to the board is important.
