Compliance Risk Management
In person · 19–20 November 2026
Course overview
Compliance risk management is a cycle, not a checklist. Organisations need to know which laws and regulations apply to them, where a breach is most likely and most costly, and whether their controls really work.
This course follows that cycle from start to finish, while keeping accountability with management and the board. Over two days, participants define their compliance universe, assess and prioritise risks, turn them into practical risk management plans, check that controls work through monitoring, and report the results in a way that drives improvement.
