More in Governance, Risk & Compliance
Enterprise Risk Management under ISO 31000
Delegates learn to build and run an enterprise risk management framework aligned with the principles and process of ISO 31000. The course covers risk appetite, identification, analysis, evaluation, and treatment, together with the governance and reporting that hold it all together. Practical sessions include building a risk register and calibrating a risk matrix for a real organisation.
Anti-Money Laundering and Financial Crime Compliance
This course equips compliance staff to detect, prevent, and report money laundering and related financial crime. Delegates study customer due diligence, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, and suspicious activity reporting within a risk-based framework. The programme reflects the recommendations of the Financial Action Task Force and regional regulatory expectations.
Regulatory Compliance Management Frameworks
Delegates learn to design and operate a structured compliance function that keeps the organisation ahead of its legal and regulatory obligations. The course covers obligation registers, compliance risk assessment, monitoring and testing, and breach management. Emphasis is placed on embedding compliance into business processes rather than treating it as a separate policing activity.
