Why Attend?

Corporate governance and risk management are critical topics that are attracting more attention in business schools and among legislatures, with this trend only increasing. While there are different models for corporate governance and risk management, all of them aim at controlling risks effectively and organizing the relationship between a company and its stakeholders. What is more important is the fact that governance, risk management, compliance and effective internal controls are all part of one system. Unfortunately, not all companies have this avant-garde look towards this system. This course includes discussions about board structures, committees and their functions while covering the detailed process of managing risks as per the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission requirements in comparison to ISO standards. In addition, this course includes a module on compliance as per the ISO standards that cover the latest developments in this area.
