The KPMG two-day Enterprise Risk Management training course will provide an overview of what ERM strives to achieve, how it is best designed, and how it can be optimally implemented.
KPMG has had the privilege of working with the boards, executives and risk committees of numerous corporate organisations, as well as public entities and government departments. This has given us valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t work, when it comes to executing ERM.
The two-day course has therefore been designed based on field experience and provides a practical approach to designing and implementing enterprise risk management.
The course is delivered through presentations from experienced field practitioners, who will support their slide material with templates, examples and case studies. There will be ample time for questions and answers.
