Finance Skills: Risk Management and Assurance

About this event

The Finance Skills: Risk Management and Assurance e-learning considers how risks are identified, managed and reported in public sector organisations. You will also explore the concept of assurance in demonstrating effective governance, as well as the main sources of assurance provision, plus the risks involved in changing delivery models.

Learning outcomes

On completing the e-learning, you will:

• understand risk management models and processes,
• learn the risks associated with changing delivery models and how these can be mitigated,
• gain knowledge of how organisations obtain assurance on risk management and corporate governance arrangements.

Who is it aimed at?

The e-learning is designed primarily for those who have no formal qualifications in finance or accountancy but who, as part of their job roles, need to understand robust governance. It is ideal for those who manage a budget or cost centre as part of a non-finance role in the public sector.
