			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the fifth issue of <strong>Risk Watch</strong>, a tri-annual journal of original articles from leading global thinkers and practitioners on risk management and corporate governance. Authors are invited to express opinions, perspectives, and ideas that test readers’ assumptions and beliefs about the risk world. Both theoretical analysis and practical applications are found within each issue—along with insights about how organizations can address the risk issues confronting them today.</p>
<p>Document Highlights:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Rob Quail</strong> offers five key statements that could become an enterprise risk management mantra for decision-makers, and demonstrates how to actively apply these statements.</li>
<li><strong>Jody Hamade and Theresa Dekker</strong> explain how Ontario Power Generation is working holistically to minimize the occurrence of unexpected events and to become prepared should they occur.</li>
<li><strong>Scott Kashuba</strong> shares details of the Government of Alberta’s five-year working partnership with the Government of Ghana. He focuses on four identified missions and the enterprise risk management expertise and lessons learned.</li>
<li><strong>Betty J. Simkins, Ilene H. Lang, and Heather Foust-Cummings</strong>, identify the benefits of improved risk governance that boards gain by increasing their gender diversity.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Risk Watch is available free of charge to The Directors College alumni and faculty only. Please contact us at<br />
</strong><strong>1-866-372-1778 or <a href="mailto:info@thedirectorscollege.com">info@thedirectorscollege.com</a> to receive your copy today. Previous copies of Risk Watch are also available.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Congratulations to Tom Bursey, who was selected as a Fellow of The Society of Management Accountants of Canada, FCMA.</p>
<p>The FCMA is a prestigious, national honorary designation. The award of the FCMA recognizes CMAs, who by their achievements, bring distinction to the profession and serve as role models for others.</p>
<p>The FCMA is based on recognition by peers of the achievements of a member. The distinguishing qualities of an FCMA are a demonstrated excellence in management accounting, commitment to and pride in the CMA designation and their professional organization, and a civic-mindedness which brings a community’s respect to the member and, through the member, to the CMA designation. Members recognized for these qualities are also recognized as role models by others, both for their past achievements and their expected future achievements.</p>
<p>The designation is granted by a formal resolution of CMA Canada’s Board of Directors. A citation is presented to each Fellow to recognize publicly, the earned distinction. Fellows may use the letters FCMA after their name.</p>
<p>The presentation of this designation will take place during Convocation ceremony on Saturday, October 22, 2011 in Toronto.</p>
