Local companies have been urged to build resilient systems to combat the risks that could potentially jeopardise their operations, reputation, and financial performance.
In a statement on Monday, the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) East Africa urged firms to establish resilient systems as economies are fast becoming globalised.
Risks can arise from various sources, including operational issues, fraud, cyber-attacks, regulatory non-compliance, governance failures or natural disasters.
In spreading this message, the risk managers will be convening in Nairobi this Friday to discuss the various challenges that face organisations, “In a world marked by unprecedented challenges and uncertainties, the need for resilience has never been more critical," the risk managers said.
The 'Navigating Uncertainty: Building Resilience in Current Times' conference is a timely and essential gathering that delves into the heart of resilience in today's rapidly changing landscape.
