We are pleased to offer Protecht’s popular Introduction to Risk Management course. This course introduces the concept and nature of risk as it relates to a range of organisations using a variety of concepts to aid topic understanding.
Chapter 1 identifies the nature and behaviour of risk and explores concepts such as Risk Awareness, Risk Acceptance and the risk lifecycle. It describes how different types of controls minimise risk, and considers the types of risks usually faced by financial institutions.
Chapter 2 considers the aims, objectives and key components of the Risk Management process within an organisation. It expands on the concept of the risk lifecycle, as illustrated by a Risk Funnel chart. It explains the 3 Lines of Defence Model and the various Risk Management Standards and methodologies used globally.

Course Description

“Come to terms with all of your organisation’s compliance requirements.”

Identifying your compliance requirements

Every organisation faces a range of internal and external compliance risks. This final course in the Protecht suite of risk management courses considers how to identify the risk of compliance breaches and apply appropriate controls, from reporting to workflow escalation.

Compliance programs can be defined as a series of questions that employees respond to on a periodic basis to ensure compliance with relevant obligations, controls, contractual requirements, policies and procedures.

The breadth of compliance issues that organisations are liable to brush up against can be daunting. This course explores what goes into a compliance program: how to build libraries of internal and external compliance requirements; prepare for and report on them; notify the relevant people and take appropriate action.

Who is this training for?

Everyone in the workplace – including compliance and risk managers, senior management or other employees – has a role to play in addressing their organisation’s and their own compliance requirements.
