The Effective Audit & Risk Committee – a Critical Pathway in the Governance Framework Online September
An indicative agenda for a 4-hour Audit & Risk Committee (ARC) Risk training session designed for Audit & Risk Committee members, Board Members, Senior Executives, Risk Managers, Heads of Risk and Chief Risk Officers.
About
The ARC plays an important function in any organisation and is a critical pathway in the governance framework.
This course will provide a framework of the purpose and key functions of an Audit & Risk Committee, particularly focussing on Committee responsibilities for effective, organisational risk management. This course provides practical tools and tips to make your committees more effective and successful.
This course is aimed at providing newly appointed non-executive directors and executive management with the skills and tools to be effective Audit and Risk Committee members. We will discuss and debate case studies to highlight strengths and weaknesses of ARC operations. Experienced committee members who think their existing committees could be strengthened might also find this course helpful.
We will ensure participants have an increased understanding of the key elements of a robust and practical enterprise risk management program, and their roles and responsibilities in the effective implementation of risk management.
