Overview

A well-run business needs to factor risk into its daily operations in order to keep from incurring unexpected losses. This CPE course provides detailed guidance for doing so. Enterprise Risk Management describes the concept of risk management, how to identify risks, and how to prioritize the responses to these risks. Participants learn how to integrate risk management into an organization’s strategy and day-to-day operations, as well as who is responsible for it. The course addresses risk management at the level of the individual functional area, including treasury and accounting, sales and marketing, human resources, and information technology.
