RISK
The many recent examples of failures in corporate control and risk management indicate that it is now more essential than ever that organisations and their employees understand and manage the risks that they face.
The National School has a number of programmes to assist you. We can also undertake consultancy work in this area.
For basic knowledge of this area take a look at the PSG Condensed Taster session – Introduction to Risk Management (see page 54).
