Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Boards carry ultimate responsibility for ensuring that their organisation takes the right risks in pursuit of its strategy and avoids those that could threaten its survival. Recent corporate failures have shown that boards which do not challenge management on risk, or which receive poor risk information, can be caught unaware with severe consequences.
This Board Risk Oversight and Risk Appetite training course explores how boards and their committees can provide effective oversight of risk. Participants examine the board's responsibilities, the structure and role of risk committees, how to articulate and use risk appetite, what good board risk reporting looks like and how to challenge management constructively.
The course is designed for directors and the professionals who support them, combining governance principles with practical tools that improve the quality of board discussion and decision making on risk.
