As the changing business environment becomes increasingly more complex, so too does navigating enterprise risk. Successful organizations know that risk management provides value by:
- Reducing negative surprises and impacts on the bottom line and the organization’s reputation;
- Providing a more holistic and cohesive approach to understanding and responding to potential/actual risk events;
- Anticipating risks earlier or more explicitly; and
- Understanding and responding to deviations in performance more quickly and consistently.
CPA Alberta’s new Certificate in Enterprise Risk Management Fundamentals helps CPAs master risk planning and implementation.
Ideal for senior leaders and board members, this highly interactive and hands-on three-day program will include instructor-led discussions, group discussions, case studies, and real-world examples all supported by a current and comprehensive resource materials package. The concepts and practices that you will learn can be applied to all sectors, organizations, and industries. There will also be specific exercises that focus on COVID-19 through a risk lens.
Participants will learn how to develop, or improve upon, a risk management framework to enable confident recommendations on an organization’s current state of risk.
By the end of this Certificate Program, participants will be able to:
- Understand the concept of a risk management framework: context, identification, prioritization, treatment, monitoring, and reporting;
- Learn how to successfully apply the framework to organizations of all sizes, in all sectors;
- Obtain and/or enhance skills to identify, analyze, and protect your organization against unanticipated internal and external threats; and
- Develop effective risk communication and reporting to all stakeholders.
