Course overview.
We draw on the lessons from recent corporate risk failures across UK and international cases — from financial services to retail to public sector — and on the IRM and FERMA practitioner standards. Designed for executives, risk officers, audit committee members and the senior managers who own enterprise risk in their function.
Who it's for.
Chief Risk Officers, executives, board members, audit committee members, senior internal auditors, compliance leads and heads of function with enterprise-risk accountability. Particularly useful for non-executive directors taking up roles that include risk-committee responsibilities for the first time.
What you'll learn.
Frameworks and the integrated risk picture
COSO Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework, ISO 31000 principles and process, the IRM standard — what each contributes and how they fit together. Risk taxonomy design, the principal-risks model used by UK PLCs, and the integration of risk into strategy and performance management.
Risk appetite, three lines, and governance architecture
Designing meaningful risk appetite statements (most are useless), the three lines of defence model in practice, the relationship between risk function, internal audit and the board, and the committee architecture that gives risk genuine traction at the top of the house.
Emerging risks and the leadership posture
Horizon scanning, the techniques for surfacing emerging risks before they're obvious (cyber, climate, geopolitics, regulatory shift), scenario analysis and stress-testing for non-financial-services contexts, and the executive leadership behaviours that build organisational risk maturity.
