The main objective of the TCOP 2017 annual plenary meeting held in Vienna was to deepen the understanding of the concepts and definitions related to risk management by the COP members and share the ideas and experiences on how these could be applied to the core national treasury functions in the participating countries. The event also served the forum to review the results of TCOP activities over the last year and to discuss the COP medium-term strategic plan for the future period. The meeting commenced with a conceptual overview regarding risk management in general, and its particular application to public financial management (PFM) and the treasury function specifically. The IA COP was invited to share the results of the work of its thematic group that produced the Risk Assessment in Audit Planning Guide issued by the COP in 2014. As part of its activities, the group invested significant time into studying the concepts and definitions related to risk management.
