Thank you Abdullah for your feedback. In a previous company we (Internal Audit and Risk teams) did also try to work with the corporate M&A team and it was a bit difficult to push forward a risk culture even when highlighting the fact that it was not to stop a project or blame someone afterwards. The idea presented was to work really ahead and from inception with a standardized risk analysis method that will be shared with the PMO team to provide them with a picture as clear as possible to be able to react quickly if an issue arose (and as we know there will always be some). Thus, through iteration over many projects we were also hoping to highlight best practices and to reinforce a learning process (feedback loop of what was + or -) which could be shared across teams and over time.
