GRC Stakeholder Management & Practice Programme
Wednesday 3rd June - Wednesday 8th July 2026
Six lunch-time sessions via Zoom from 1.00pm to 3.00pm
Overview
To be successful as a risk, compliance and anti-financial crime professional requires more than a knowledge of laws, rules and regulations. It also requires the ability to practically understand, navigate and manage the risks, issues and needs of our programmes, stakeholders, internal and external, and organisations.
This 6 week online programme is designed to address this by educating risk, compliance and anti-financial crime professionals in the HOW and WHY rather than just the WHAT. It provides a series of six online workshop courses facilitated by a leading international practitioner and subject matter expert. Each workshop features detailed practical instruction and coaching supported by engaging case studies, examples, and demonstrations. Participants will also be able to discuss related challenges and needs under Chatham House Rules and supporting materials will be provided for their on-going application of learning in their workplace.
CPD:
4 hours LCI, FCI (Compliance), CFCP
3 hours CFRCP, CSFCP
2 hours FCI (Ethics), CECA
Upon completion of the 6 week programme, attendees will be awarded a Certificate in GRC Stakeholder Management & Practice and associated CPD.
