Risk Management: Identifying Governance Red Flags - Melbourne - March 2025

Risk Management: Identifying Governance Red Flags Training for Non-profit Organisations

Part of maintaining effective governance as a committee member is being able to identify red flags that could indicate that all is not as it seems. While not every red flag indicates poor practice, working out which ones warrant further investigation and attention requires practice and continuous improvement in your checks and balances.

NPT’s ‘Red Flag’ governance training focuses on building the knowledge of the Board / Committee members so they can identify what’s important to narrow in on when things don’t seem right.

In this workshop, we will put key governance practices under the microscope and look at common issues that go unchecked in not-for-profits that can cause havoc. There will be tips to identify potential red flags and a practical checklist to put in place to ensure your organisation maintains a proactive and positive risk culture.

Topics include:

• A governance framework to guide the focus of the Board/Committee
• The culture of good governance
• Developing practical skills in risk identification, assessment, mitigation and appetite
• Gaining an understanding of common biases that impact committee decision-making leading to risky practices
• Integrating risk considerations into decision-making processes
• Using delegations and risk reporting effectively
• Effectively documenting processes and procedures
• Highlighting important internal controls
• Improving staff/volunteer oversight and performance reviews
• Developing a collective mindset of continuous improvement in risk management and governance processes
