SYNOPSIS & OBJECTIVES

Risk management is an integral part of corporate governance - all businesses need to manage risk if they are to achieve sustainable success. The Covid-19 pandemic provides an extreme test of the capabilities of directors and senior executives because of the threats it poses to the business model and going concern of so many businesses. There are obvious threats from the pandemic but also opportunities - this course looks at both.
Delegates will learn about recent changes in corporate governance best practices and how this new direction of travel affects SMEs. They will also understand modern risk management techniques and how directors and senior executives can use them to achieve their business objectives. Finally, the course uses examples to highlight some of the key changes brought about by the pandemic - changes both to business practices and to the perceptions of stakeholders. These changes are likely to have a long-term impact on reputation and resilience.
