Technology transformation is driving rapid changes in the business and regulatory environment.

Corporates will require quick thinking to respond to risk and compliance in new ways. It is important for corporates to develop an innovative approach to managing and enhancing corporate governance and risk management. This will ensure proper implementation of agile, effective and efficient processes to comply with increasing regulations.

Using the COVID-19 scenario, participants are guided through developing and implementing a risk analysis of how the pandemic affects the organisation - what plans need to be drawn in order to mitigate the risk and how to make use of opportunities (even in the face of challenges) to reliably achieve objectives.

TOPICS COVERED

Roadmap to achieving corporate objectives through principled performance & GRC
Opportunities, threats and requirements that impact objectives

I have taken 3 courses with SMU and trainers from Straits Interactive, so far, it has been very knowledgeable and engaging. I have been able to link the theory with practical and this gave me better understanding the right framework to put in practice when I return back to my organisation.
