Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) for Modern Organisations
Duration: 5 days
This intensive five-day course provides a strategic, integrated framework to embed GRC into the heart of organisational decision-making and operations. Delegates will explore how to align GRC structures with corporate strategy, improve resilience, and foster a culture of ethical conduct and accountability. With an emphasis on practical application, the course incorporates real-world case studies, interactive exercises, and implementation tools that equip professionals to drive sustainable value creation while maintaining robust compliance and risk oversight. By the end of the course, delegates will be prepared to lead their organisations with integrity, agility, and confidence in a dynamic global landscape.
This course is ideal for compliance officers, risk managers, internal auditors, governance professionals, legal advisors, regulatory affairs personnel, and department heads responsible for managing risk and compliance.
