ERM Programme
Practitioner4 daysRisk Management
Programme overview
Trustview's flagship risk qualification. Over four days delegates build a complete enterprise risk management framework for their own organisation, from governance architecture and risk appetite through to reporting to the board. Delegates arrive with their organisation's context and leave with a drafted ERM framework document, a populated risk register, a risk appetite statement and a 90 day implementation plan. This is a build programme, not a lecture series.
Who should attend
Chief Risk Officers and heads of risk, risk managers and analysts, compliance officers moving into risk, finance managers carrying risk portfolios, internal auditors, and public enterprise officers responsible for risk reporting to a board or parent ministry.
Sectors
Banks, insurers and retirement funds, SACCOs and microfinance institutions, public enterprises and parastatals, large corporates and mining, telecommunications.
