Introduction

Risk management has become a core governance responsibility rather than a specialist or technical function. Senior leaders and managers are expected to make decisions that balance opportunity with exposure, while demonstrating effective control, oversight, and compliance with increasingly rigorous corporate governance standards. The challenge is not to eliminate risk, but to understand which risks should be taken, how they are managed, and how accountability is evidenced.

It focuses on risk identification, evaluation, treatment, monitoring, and control, aligned with internationally recognised frameworks and standards. Participants develop the ability to apply risk management principles consistently across strategy, operations, and decision-making.

The course emphasises governance integration, internal control design, and compliance discipline, enabling participants to strengthen organisational resilience, support informed decision-making, and meet rising expectations from boards, regulators, and stakeholders.
