About the Program
The Stanford Club of New England and the Wharton Club of Boston welcome Gary W. Patterson, MBA'71, FiscalDoctor, enterprise risk management (ERM) expert and speaker, who has helped over 200 companies spanning technology and supply chain.

Patterson offers a commonsense approach to risk management that unlocks added value for existing or new ERM programs, identifying formerly invisible opportunities and revealing key risk areas executives unwittingly take. Many CEO's, C-suite officers and boards are taking far greater risks than they may be aware of. Posing the million-dollar-question, "What is the cost of what you don't know," Patterson alerts executives to hidden risks that may be lurking inside their companies. Sticking out your balance sheet is no more comfortable than a visit to your doctor, but it's every bit as important. Even if it's bad news - especially if it's bad news - you need to know.

He is the author of a new book, Stick Out Your Balance Sheet and Cough: Best Practices for Long-Term Business Health. Patterson is a Stanford GSB graduate with Big 4 CPA experience.
