Training description

Many organizations have been undertaking formal risk management for years. Others are still relatively immature in their approach and practices. Whatever their maturity and the perceived effectiveness of their risk management practices, organisations regularly fall foul of risk. Significant failures occur, reputation suffers, and the impact of poor risk management can have dramatic consequences.

This course will summarise key risk management concepts and look at what internal audit could and should consider in a review of this subject in an interactive and participative style. It will improve your ability to provide effective, professional insight and internal audit assurance over this most critical activity.
