Senior public sector risk management experts have just returned from Australia after exchanging ideas with their antipodean counterparts.
The visit enabled both parties to learn more about their counterparts schemes. It was part of a series of initiatives aimed at achieving a unified global approach to risk management.
Members of ALARM - The National Forum for Risk Management in the Public Sector - visited Australia to meet their public sector counterparts at their annual national conference.
ALARM Chief Executive Sheila Boyce and Treasurer Bob Cope were hosted by members of ARIMA - The Association of Risk and Insurance Managers of Australasia.
Boyce said: "The ARIMA conference was an excellent opportunity for us to see how Risk Management is tackled across the waters and how we may adopt some of the different strategies used.
"The parallels were there to see, proving that we do have a unified approach in some areas, but differing schemes and strategies enable us to broaden our ideas and try new strategies which have been proven and tested elsewhere."
