The Risk Management Institution of Australasia (
RMIA) has announced a new partnership with
EY (formerly Ernst & Young) and has launched nominations for its annual awards.
The three year sponsorship agreement with EY will see the company become the strategic sponsor of RMIA’s RISK2020 initiative, it has been announced.
As part of the deal, EY will assist RMIA in the development of two key initiatives: a Senior Leaders Forum and an established CRO network for every state.
RMIA president, Bryan Whitefield, believes that the alliance will strengthen RMIA’s upcoming events and help the organisation build for the future.
“EY is a leading adviser in enterprise risk management and will provide cutting edge expertise, solid direction and an invaluable source of reference for RMIA’s two new key initiatives,” he said.
The annual RMIA award nominations have also been opened with risk manager of the year, risk consultant of the year, and risk student of the year to be won at the RMIA National Conference to be held in Adelaide in November.
“The RMOY award is presented to a person who delivers excellence in risk management at an enterprise level for their organisation,” RMIA said in a statement.
“Nominees are judged against the following criteria: business outcome focus; strategic and systems thinking; communicating and influencing; stakeholder focus; application of professional risk management knowledge; and ethical practice.”
