Governance and Risk Management

Good governance encompasses not only the system by which organisations are controlled, but the mechanisms by which organisations and those who comprise them are held to account. Good governance is also demonstrated when all directors and senior executives have a shared understanding of risk.

The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of effective governance, including the function of risk management, and how both contribute to improved corporate performance.

The key objectives are to:

• define corporate governance, governance standards, and explore current governance issues
• examine the role of the board and its risk management responsibilities
• recognise the principles and practice of effective risk governance
• explore risk culture assessment.

Who should attend?

• directors (non-executive and executive)
• managers who report to the board
• risk managers or managers with risk responsibilities
• consultants (risk, audit, or management)
• finance staff
• and other parties who may be interested or involved in a company, such as company secretaries, legal counsel, analysts, communication consultants and regulators.
