ASD126

Duration

14 days

Overview

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted critical weaknesses in governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) across organisations worldwide. Boards of Directors and senior executives must now embed GRC into strategy setting, oversight, and execution to protect enterprises from unpredictable risks while ensuring regulatory compliance and resilience. The Certified Governance, Risk and Compliance Officer (CGRCO™) executive programme equips senior professionals with the knowledge, frameworks, and leadership capabilities to design and implement integrated GRC systems. Participants will learn to align governance, risk, and compliance with corporate strategy, build enterprise-wide risk cultures, and apply global standards including COSO ERM (2017) and ISO 31000 (2018).
