Course Overview

In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, risk is no longer a back-office concern—it’s front and center. Government auditors face growing challenges as public sector entities evolve, and effective enterprise risk management (ERM) becomes essential to maintain accountability and achieve strategic goals. But what exactly does ERM mean for auditors, and how can they navigate its frameworks and models effectively?

This CPE course explores the essentials of ERM through a public-sector lens, connecting regulatory expectations with practical audit strategies. Participants will dive into the fundamentals of risk governance, internal audit’s evolving role, and how ERM aligns with organizational objectives. We’ll also unpack real-world case studies, such as the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, to highlight ERM failures and their implications. In addition, the course introduces formal frameworks such as COSO, ISO, COBIT, and NIST, equipping auditors with the tools to assess and strengthen risk processes in alignment with widely recognized standards.

Major Topics:

  • ERM Framework Fundamentals
  • Risk Appetite Concepts
  • Three Lines Model Explained
  • Risk Maturity Models
  • Internal Audit Integration

Whether you’re new to ERM or seeking to refine your approach, this CPE course equips you with the skills and insights to support risk-informed decision-making. Join us to advance your understanding of enterprise risk management and strengthen your contribution to public accountability.
