A Christmas Gift

Man cannot discover new oceans until he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

As 2009 draws to a close we decided that we would seek out the many manifestations of risk management as a Christmas gift to our dear readers.

We came across this:

http://www.christmastreeriskmanagement.com/

We are not making this up! It is a genuine site.

Never let it be said that the management of risk isn’t everywhere!

To our 450 subscribers thank you for taking the time to be engaged, challenged, educated, provoked, interested.

Thanks for all your comments about the weekly updates.

Easily the post that generated the most debate was The Violin Theorem:

Makes you wonder whether a man is allowed to dance anymore! :)

We are off now on a well earned break (or at least we think so).

Honestly Lay Bare will be back in 2010 with plans for a new website; a greater Twitter presence www.twitter.com/tom_mcleod is where we are at the moment and podcasts with leading internal audit, risk management and corporate governance practitioners

And even if none of that ever comes to fruition (of course there is a good chance that it wont!) weekly updates on publicly available information of instances of either best / worst practice internal control situations will continue unabated.

The next update will be on Wednesday 13th January 2010.

To you and your family from Honestly Lay Bare, Mrs Honestly Lay Bare, Auditor 1 and Auditor 2 may you have a safe and happy festive season and may 2010 bring you all that you so richly deserve.
