Governance and ComplianceCorporate Governance, Risk and Compliance Practitioner Programme
Governance, risk and compliance grew up as three functions with separate reporting lines, separate systems and overlapping demands on the same business managers, who receive three questionnaires about the same control. This programme consolidates them. Delegates work through the governance framework and where risk and compliance sit within it, a common risk and control language that lets the three functions share evidence, and integrated assessment that tests a control once. Combined reporting to the board is covered, since fragmented reporting is how a board misses a theme. Technology and the shared register that supports integration follow. The roles of each function and the boundaries that must remain are addressed honestly. The course closes on implementing integration without a reorganisation nobody asked for.
