The Role of the Board – Risk Tolerance & Appetite
Too often the Board and management are not in line on what is an acceptable amount of risk. Does the Board want a "1" or "2" rating at their next Compliance Exam? Has the Board thought about the level of risk they are willing to accept, and have they articulated this to management? This program will help you understand the importance of this topic and how to begin these conversations.

Policies, Procedures, and Processes – What Does the Board Need to Do?
Your Board is responsible for everything that goes on in your institution. However, the Board hires management to carry out the day to day duties. Most institutions have more policies and procedures than are required. Additionally, most policies contain too many details and are actually ineffective. Policies are used by the Board to explain the "What" and the "Why". Procedures should then be developed by management to carry out the "Who, Where, When and How" of these policies. Complete this course to help you understand what policies are required and how much detail (or little) they should contain.
