About this event
The 2022 Marsh Taituarā Risk Management Forum provides the risk manager with practical and current advice for managing the major risks and advising those with governance and decision-making responsibility for the risk function.
If 2020 was the year of the pandemic, 2022 will go down as the year of reforms. Three waters, resource management, emergency management, and the ‘Future for Local Government’ are a tangled web of reforms that is positively exuding risk. We open with an update that connects the dots and a panel on approaching the reforms from a risk perspective.
Delivery of the capital programme is an area that has been flagged as a strategic risk – especially in an era when an overheating economy and skilled labour shortages are facts of life.
This year’s sampling of other topics includes:
- data analytics and risk management
- reviewing your risk management functions
- developments in the legal environment and risk managers
- training and development for risk managers and risk governors
- the Auditor-General’s work on risk management.
Whether you are a specialist risk manager, or someone with an interest in a particular risk, mitigation or topic, this is for you.
Note: sessions are being recorded and will be made available to registrants 7-10 days after the last session finishes.

Historic data suggests that even in the best of times many local authorities struggle to complete more than three-quarters of the capital programme.
