Course Overview

The Board of Directors has the ultimate responsibility for operations and processes involving risk management and control, but, managers with operational responsibility are charged with ensuring that the risk management, steering and control processes work according to the guidelines of the Board. This includes continuous evaluation of control methods, which should be identified, appropriate, effective and stable. Good risk management, steering and control requires clearly defined delegation of responsibilities and duties, as well as observance of the duality principle, which means that no one should handle a routine or oversee a case without control or supervision. This online course has been designed exactly like the in-class version. All training materials are already loaded in the learning management system. You will also write some tests which have as well been loaded. The test is to enable you assess yourself if learning has actually taken place and your score will be shown by the learning management system. Should you have any need to ask questions or request explanations on technical issues, please arrange a video conference with your instructors by sending an e-mail to fix a suitable date and time to megaheads@gmail.com
