Title The significant roles and responsibilities associated with members of the risk and control divisions intensify their increasing importance within their organisations. Organisations are operating in conditions of economic turmoil knocking on Africa’s doorstep and this forum highlights the need to focus on controlling and developing structured frameworks that promote the accurate and correct mitigation of organisational risks both internally and externally.
Gone are the days when organisations found it sufficient to pinpoint specific areas of risk that need attention. To survive in business today, actual monitoring of risks and facilitating internal control at all levels within the business is necessary. The potential to grow and improve business functions are tested when an organisation faces a potential risk and the preparedness to mitigate the risk and find opportunities as well as alternative growth paths demonstrates optimal risk and internal control.
This two day forum will boast key-note speakers presenting sessions on the various tools, sound processes and implementation of effective structures to allow a holistic benefit to your organisation for maximum growth, control and risk management. On day one, delegates will have the opportunity to hear first hand experiences and case studies from prominent players across industry sectors. Day two will deliver a full day workshop expertly facilitated by your workshop trainer to cement the information delivered on day one as well as provide expert advice and insight on issues facing business today.
