THE INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS OF KENYA
(Established under the Accountant Act, Laws of Kenya)
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Masterclass
Theme: Demystifying the ERM implementation requirements for success
Date: 19th -21st May 2021
Venue /Platform: Zoom
OVERVIEW
Risk management is an essential element of the strategic management of any organization and should be embedded in the ongoing activities of the business. The importance of implementing ERM for organizations cannot be underscored. Several entities in Kenya both from public and private sectors have made big strides towards compliance to risk management guidelines issued locally as well as from global regulators.
The fundamental elements of ERM are the assessment of significant risks and the implementation of suitable risk responses. Risk responses include acceptance or tolerance of a risk; avoidance or termination of a risk; risk transfer or sharing via insurance, a joint venture or other arrangement; and reduction or mitigation of risk via internal control procedures or other risk prevention activities. Other important ERM concepts include the risk philosophy or risk strategy, risk culture and risk appetite. These are expressions of the attitude to risk in the organization, and of the amount of risk that the organization is willing to take. These are important elements of governance responsibility.
Understanding the risk appetite concept and the risk quantification will aid in objective measurement of risk and lead to an improvement in the risk culture of the organization. The ERM Master class will shed light on the ERM process as well as the critical skills and enablers towards successful risk appetite formulation and entrenchment by the organization after complete articulation and approval by the Board. The role of different players in ERM is also a critical aspect and the master class will provide an avenue for discussants to debate on the most appropriate placement level of the ERM Staff ad their reporting lines.
Management responsibilities involving the risk universe and architecture or infrastructure, documentation of procedures or risk management protocols, training, monitoring, and reporting on risks and risk management activities will also be discussed in the master class.
Further, the Institute introduced and launched the Multiple licenses in November 2020. Consequently, the Institute has developed several programs to equip potential practitioners within the areas as defined in the accountancy definition, this being one of the selected trainings.
This Master Class is intended to provide Risk Professionals with critical knowledge and insights that will enable them to ‘hit the ground running’ in their review and advisory roles. It will also be a good opportunity for delegates to build their professional skills and network with other like-minded professionals in the same field.
There will be an online assessment after successful completion of the master class.
