Practitioners of Enterprise Risk Management are quick to describe the many benefits implementing the ERM framework has brought to their organization and the audit process. But many non-practitioners simply don’t know how to get started with or how to make the most of ERM. And that’s what this seminar is all about.

Through lectures, case studies, group discussions, practical exercises, self-assessments, and feedback from the facilitator, participants will improve their understanding of ERM and the COSO ERM Framework, while coming up to speed with current issues, challenges, and emerging practices regarding risk management, control, and governance processes. This dynamic workshop is ideal for auditors beginning the enterprise risk management process, as well as ERM implementation team leaders and members, and auditors at all levels who are interested in or contemplating implementation of ERM.
