Certificate in Advanced Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)

Certificate in Advanced Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)

Why Attend

Corporate governance and risk management are critical topics attracting more attention in business schools and legislative bodies in public and private organizations. While there are different corporate governance and risk management models, all aim to control risks effectively and organize the relationship between a company and its stakeholders. What is more important is that governance, risk management, compliance, and adequate internal controls are all part of one system. Unfortunately, not all companies have this avant-garde approach toward this system. This course includes discussions about board structures, committees, and their functions while covering the detailed process of managing risks per the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission requirements compared to ISO standards. In addition, this course includes a module on compliance per the ISO standards that covers the latest developments in this area.
