Risk Controls Short Course – Online – Commence Anytime

A control is something that is currently in place to reduce risk within an organisation and/or an industry. They have often been introduced/implemented into an as a result of a previous incident or incidents. In many cases where an incident/event has occurred, it is not as a result of a lack of controls – but because of a failure of existing controls. So, the real key to managing risk effectively is to ensure that our controls are effective.

Why then, is so little attention paid to the effectiveness of controls in the majority of risk management literature?

This short course provides participants with fundamental and essential information to be successfully able to identify, assess, measure the effectiveness of, and improve controls in organisations. The course will cover:

  • The control environment
  • The importance of controls in the assessment of likelihood
  • Identifying controls
  • Categorising controls
  • Measuring the effectiveness of controls
  • Identifying, designing and implementing appropriate risk treatments (new controls) where the current control environment is assessed as inadequate.

Participants will be guided through the control environment using real-world examples. In doing so, participants will be able to relate the workshop content to their own workplace

  • A copy of Rod Farrar’s eBook: Risk Tips, Blogs, and a Few Risk Rants
