In a world characterised by increasing complexity and uncertainty, effective risk management, data governance, and ethical standards are crucial for organisations striving to achieve their objectives while maintaining resilience and integrity. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of how to manage risk, utilise data within an enterprise risk management (ERM) framework, and uphold strong ethical principles.

Ethics is a system of moral principles and is concerned with what is good for individuals and society and is also described as moral philosophy. In a financial crisis, asset prices see a steep decline in value, businesses and consumers are unable to pay their debts, and financial institutions experience liquidity shortages. A financial crisis may be limited to banks or spread throughout a single economy, the economy of a region, or economies worldwide.

This course is comprised of videos, questions and additional reading materials.
