Introduction

Enterprise risk management is the process of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the activities of an organization in order to minimize the effects of risk on the organization’s capital and earnings.  It includes the methods and processes organizations deploy to manage risks, maximize opportunities and achieve the objectives of the organization.  Enterprise risk management expands the risk management process to include not just risks associated with accidental losses, but also financial, strategic, operational, and other risks.

This Enterprise Risk Management training programme has been developed so organizations can identify and proactively address risks and maximize the opportunities available to them.  They can therefore create tremendous value for all stakeholders, including owners, employees, customers, regulators and the society as a whole.  Participants will learn how to design and implement an appropriate Enterprise Risk Management System including policies, procedures and practices as well as to benchmark their ERM practices against approved/international standards.
