About the course
Risk management requires a holistic approach with governance and ethics at the forefront of your strategy to prepare for the unpredictable nature of today’s business threats. While the principles of risk management are well known, the risk environment has evolved, and new pressures, complacency, and internal behaviours can expose organisations to unexpected threats.
This course examines past corporate failings to highlight how a combination of structured risk management practices, clear communication, transparent leadership, and flexibility can create a safer working environment. It explores the sources of corporate risk – from external disruption to unethical behaviour within organisations – and considers how governance frameworks, scenario planning, and strong internal controls can reduce exposure and build resilience.
This course will help you to prepare for the unknown. It explains the role that rules and integrity play in curbing dysfunctional behaviour and outlines the need for flexibility in achieving resilience. You’ll be better equipped to recognise emerging risks, challenge complacency, and strengthen organisational resilience through ethical leadership and sound governance.

In this growing world of uncertainty, there is increasing pressure to understand issues relating to corporate governance, risks and ethical behaviour. This course is invaluable as the author systematically explains and guides me through these concepts emphasising on the relationship between corporate governance, risk management and resilience. The quizzes, practical examples of recent occurrences of malfeasance/noncompliance and the opportunity to reflect on lessons learned allow me to rethink and identify activities to be undertaken at work to ensure success in my organisation.
