5-Day Governance, Risk and Compliance Classroom Training

Over the course of the first three days, you'll be engaged in Corporate Governance and Risk Management.

Then, we’ll provide a context for the roles of shareholders, owners, and managers.We will also cover the role of directors as the link between those who provide capital (the shareholders) and the people who use that capital to create value (the managers). We’ll address the roles and responsibilities of board committees and directors of typical corporations. Then, using specific examples and case studies, we’ll discuss how to fairly measure management performance to ensure that shareholders’ interests are being met. We’ll also illuminate the ways in which COSO Enterprise Risk Management enables organizations of all types and sizes to understand and better manage their risk environments, as well as to make better decisions through use of the COSO ERM framework.

For the last two days, you will learn best practices in control frameworks, as well as practical information that will enable you to manage auditor expectations, meet regulatory requirements, and leverage your company’s investment in internal controls in support of business goals and objectives.

Over the course of two days, we’ll illuminate the ways in which COSO Enterprise Risk Management enables organizations of all types and sizes to understand and better manage their risk environments, as well as to make better decisions through use of the COSO ERM framework.

The course work first covers the importance of enterprise risk management, risk management fundamentals, and components of COSO ERM. Next, we’ll discuss COSO ERM organizational objectives, implementing an effective ERM program, and integrating ERM with COSO internal controls. Then, we’ll explore how Sarbanes-Oxley relates to COSO ERM, the importance of ERM in the boardroom, and the role of internal audit in ERM. We’ll also discuss the framework for understanding project risks, the role that IT plays in ERM, and how to establish an effective risk culture within your organization. Finally, we’ll place what we’ve learned into the context of ERM worldwide, and the role that COSO ERM will play in the near and distant future.

Following the successful completion of the certification exam, you will be Certified in Integrated Risk Management (CIRM). If you already have the required GRC or GRC-related experience, you can apply for the Integrated Risk Management Professional credential (CIRMP).
