Format: Online
Enterprise risk functions are under pressure to move faster, provide clearer insight to executives and boards, and reduce duplication — yet many organizations still operate with fragmented risk views and unclear ownership. This series explores practical ways to connect ERM, compliance, and internal audit to strengthen decision-making and governance — while maintaining clear accountability and internal audit independence.
Enterprise Risk Without Silos is a three-part webinar series produced by The IIA and led by The IIA's Enterprise Risk Management Committee. Designed for senior and executive internal audit and enterprise risk professionals, the series explores how organizations can build high-functioning enterprise risk programs while maintaining clear accountability and internal audit independence.
Internal audit leaders are encouraged to invite their colleagues in enterprise risk to participate. Each session is a conversation featuring practitioners and thought leaders who bring real-world perspective to some of the most pressing questions in enterprise risk management today.
Each webinar in this series qualifies for 1 NASBA CPE credit. CPE credit will be awarded per webinar. Registrants who attend all 3 webinars and meet the NASBA CPE guidelines during each webinar may qualify for up to 3 total CPEs at the end of the series.
2026 Series Schedule
Webinar 1 of 3: From Risk Registers to Risk Intelligence: Turning ERM into a Decision Engine
Air Date: June 17, 2026 from 12-1 PM ET
Enterprise risk programs succeed when they inform better decisions — not just better documentation. This session examines how organizations can elevate ERM from a compliance exercise to a genuine strategic capability, translating risk data into insights that executives and boards actually use. Internal audit's role is explored through the lens of independent assurance and appropriately scoped advisory engagement — adding value without assuming operational ownership of risk processes.
Learning Objectives:
• Distinguish between traditional risk register approaches and risk intelligence frameworks that actively drive executive decision-making.
• Identify strategies to translate ERM data into timely, relevant insights for boards and senior leadership.
• Explore how internal audit and ERM can collaborate to strengthen the quality of risk conversations — while preserving internal audit's independence.
Webinar 2 of 3: Who Owns What? Clarifying Roles Without Rebuilding Silos
Air Date: September 30, 2026 from 12-1 PM ET
As functions mature and intersect, overlap is inevitable — but confusion doesn't have to be. This session addresses one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise risk governance: clarifying ownership and responsibilities across ERM, compliance, and internal audit without reverting to rigid silos. Attendees will explore practical approaches to role clarity that enable meaningful cross-functional collaboration while protecting the independence and objectivity each function must maintain.
Learning Objectives:
• Identify the most common sources of role ambiguity across ERM, compliance, and internal audit — and their downstream effects on governance.
• Apply practical guidance to clarify and communicate ownership of risk activities without creating operational silos or compromising independence.
• Evaluate governance structures that enable cross-functional collaboration while preserving the trust and objectivity of all three lines.
Webinar 3 of 3: The Future Risk Leader: Skills, Mindsets, and Career Paths Across the Lines
Air Date: December 17, 2026 from 12-1 PM ET
Tomorrow's risk leaders will need broader perspectives, stronger influence skills, and cross-functional experience — operating comfortably at the intersection of strategy, governance, and operations. This forward-looking session examines how enterprise risk and internal audit leadership roles are evolving and what that means for talent development, succession planning, and career pathways across the second and third lines. Ideal for professionals responsible for shaping the next generation of enterprise risk leadership.
Learning Objectives:
• Describe the evolving competency profile required of future enterprise risk leaders, including the influence skills needed to lead risk conversations at the executive and board level.
• Analyze how cross-functional experience shapes leadership effectiveness in integrated governance environments.
• Identify talent development and succession strategies that reflect the demands of emerging risk leadership roles across ERM, compliance, and internal audit.
