Overview

Managing Governance, Risk and Compliance

 

To succeed in the complex and dynamic global business environment, organisations need to have a coordinated strategy for the governance, management and assurance of performance, risk and compliance. This is the essence of integrated governance, risk management and compliance (GRC), which can provide organisations with a real competitive edge. To this end, the SCHSBM’s Strategic Governance, Risk and Compliance Programme will equip you with the knowledge required to effectively design and improve integrated GRC activities across your organisation based on established, internationally recognised GRC standards, and effectively audit its GRC capability. It will enable you to improve standards of risk and compliance in your organisation through innovative approaches and enhance processes to comply with increasing regulations.

 

This programme will cover core components of GRC including ethics, compliance law, risk management, audit processes, control frameworks and corporate governance which are essential for organisations that want to ensure they follow the appropriate legal requirements, reduce potential risks, and maintain a strong corporate reputation. By embedding these GRC processes and methodologies within your business plan, you will be better prepared to manage operations more cohesively, reduce risk and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, thus improving your organisation’s financial performance.
