Introduction

Risk management is no longer a standalone activity but a core organisational capability that supports strategy, resilience, and effective governance. Organisations across all sectors face increasing uncertainty arising from regulatory change, operational complexity, and evolving stakeholder expectations. Without a structured risk management framework, decision-making can become inconsistent and exposure to unmanaged risk can escalate. This Fundamentals of Risk Management training course introduces risk management as an integrated, enterprise-wide discipline embedded within governance and assurance structures.

The course provides clarity on risk concepts, frameworks, and processes, enabling participants to assess existing risk practices and identify opportunities for improvement.
