Course description
Clearly, corporate governance is the basic framework from which effective risk management takes shape. Corporate governance elaborates the division of responsibility within the organisation for risk management and determines the means with which, at each level, risk management will be implemented.
This training offers insights into the world of corporate finance, risk, and governance. Capital markets are central to the globalization phenomenon and essential for a well-functioning society. Because of this centrality and essential nature to societies, focus and attention must be paid to their proper functioning and oversight.
To that end, this training course offers an overview of the interaction between management and all other stakeholders. Diverse and complex stakeholder demands are best met by an efficient allocation of resources over an extended period.
