HONG KONG
CERTIFICATE IN RISK
MANAGEMENT (INTERNATIONAL)
9 – 10 NOVEMBER 2015
4 WORKSHOPS AND
2 ONLINE COURSES
EVENT DETAILS
CPA Australia is pleased to partner with
Governance Institute of Australia to deliver
a risk management course into Singapore,
Malaysia and Hong Kong.
The Certificate in Risk Management
(International) has been designed to give
you the tools to ensure your organisation is
robust and ready.
The experience of companies during the
Asian Financial Crisis has highlighted the
central role risk management plays in
corporate performance. An effective risk
management strategy not only reduces
the potential for adverse consequences
or negative press, but creates significant
opportunity for astute corporations.
• It starts with an overview of a decisionmaker’s governance responsibilities
and the need to meet stakeholder
expectations
When managed poorly, new technologies
and trends can seem daunting to
executives and create unforeseen
challenges. When managed well, they can
open doors that did not exist a decade
ago. The key challenge is for all levels of an
organisation to understand how to identify
and manage risk, so that these new
opportunities can be embraced.
For over 100 years, Governance Institute
of Australia has provided executive-level
education, resources and Continuing
Professional Development for those who
recognise the challenges of business
leadership and seek the market advantage
that globally-benchmarked knowledge
and practice provides.
• The Certificate then outlines a range
of best practice risk frameworks,
methodologies, and tools to help you
choose the right solutions for your
company
• Finally, it covers the two key risks you
might face – security risk and business
continuity.
By completing the Certificate, you will
open up a world of opportunity for your
professional career while gaining access to
a leading-edge risk management toolkit to
use in your day-to-day operations.
The Certificate will give you the
knowledge and practical experience you
need to understand risk and optimise the
opportunities it presents, giving you the
confidence to support your organisation’s
sustainable future.

THE CERTIFICATE IN RISK MANAGEMENT
(INTERNATIONAL) COMPRISES THE
FOLLOWING SIX COURSES:
1. GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(WORKSHOP – 3.5 CPD HOURS)
MONDAY 9 NOVEMBER 2015, 9.00AM – 12.30PM
This course offers an overview of the role of the board
in governance and risk management, examines current
issues, and explores international best practice. It explores
how governance and risk management are essential
to an organisation’s improved corporate performance.
Introduces the requirements of the Hong Kong Corporate
Governance Code with case example, Tesco, which
launched into China in 2004. The landmark model for
analysing board activities, developed by Prof B Tricker
during his time as Hong Kong University Business School's
Professor of Finance, is introduced and underpins all
discussions about the role of boards with regard to risk.
2. RISK MANAGEMENT ESSENTIALS
(WORKSHOP – 3.5 CPD HOURS)
MONDAY 9 NOVEMBER 2015, 1.30PM – 5.00PM
This course provides an introduction to the discipline of
risk management, including: the principles and application
of standards; the corporate context for risk management;
the impacts of regulatory trends and changing practices;
the benefits of effective risk management; and the
importance of creating a risk-aware culture. It will
provide insights into emerging global risk areas such as
reputational risk, cyber risk, natural disasters and data
security. Examines the requirements of the Corporate
Governance code and, when looking at the decisions
pertaining to risk how global property developer Lend
Lease, active as a developer and now an investor in China
for over 15 years, may – in the right situations – decide to
retain the risk.
3. RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKS
(WORKSHOP – 3.5 CPD HOURS)
TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2015, 9.00AM – 12.30PM
The aim of this course is to demonstrate how a risk
management framework helps an enterprise to add value.
It will examine risk and uncertainty from a governance
perspective and outline the key elements of an effective
risk management framework. Draws on KPMG’s Global
Audit Committee Survey 2015 so that we gain a sense
of the approach of 1,500 companies in 35 countries are
actually taking. A discussion about Samsonite’s decision
to make its Hong Kong head office virtual, raises many
questions.
4. ASSESSING, ANALYSING AND TREATING RISK
(WORKSHOP – 3.5 CPD HOURS)
TUESDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2015, 1.30PM – 5.00PM
This course explores processes for determining and
addressing an organisation’s risk exposure. It is presented
as a practical, step-by-step approach that reveals what you
should implement, how you can ensure that every aspect
of your system is robust, and the tools you can use to
manage risk more effectively. In a case study, the content
will explores Unilever‘s strategic plan for South East Asia
as a prompt for ‘how to’ discussion. Unilever has been
operating in China since 1947 and is aiming to strengthen
its South East Asia footprint creating challenges both
for its Malaysia operations and those in neighbouring
countries.
5. SECURITY RISK (ONLINE – 3.5 CPD HOURS)
This course examines the three main domains of security
risk management – people, assets and virtual. It explores
relevant international standards and trends to ensure that
the right strategies are implemented, as well as identifying
the questions that should be asked to ensure that the
organisation’s security risk management approach is
robust.
6. BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND REPUTATION RISK
(ONLINE – 3.5 CPD HOURS)
Companies need to be ready for any potential extreme
events – if you start to plan for business continuity once
a crisis hits, you are too late. This course explores the
importance of, and interrelationship between, Business
Continuity Management (BCM) and Reputation Risk
Management (RRM) as part of an organisation’s total risk
and governance management framework.
