The Board Class

This course will help boards to create a governance-level Risk Management

system. In this concise and efficient course, learn:

• The 3 steps in a good governance level risk management system
• How to identify risk, communicate that risk to the CEO, and to assess operational risk
• Maintain oversight with good monitoring data
• How a Board’s values are integral to risk management
• What information the Board needs from the CEO to monitor risk
• How to create board policies to support a risk management system
• What a good risk matrix looks like
• How to create a reporting schedule for risk management
• How to deal with a crisis that exposes the organization to risk
• The difference between operational risk and governance risk
  
  

This course will benefit two groups:

1. Boards that want to understand what risk management information they need and why they need it.
2. And CEOs who must produce valid and reliable information to prove to the Board that operational risk is being mitigated.
