The Certificate in Risk Governance^® is awarded to those who have completed The Board Members' Course on Risk^® - an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards. Taught by some of the world's leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, c-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this - depth, practicality, and global expertise - exists anywhere else.

"The DCRO certificate in risk governance is an amazingly comprehensive, insightful, and forward-looking program of courses that prepares directors and corporate risk officers to manage the challenges and opportunities that risk presents," said Ms. Sylvain. "It is not just the ABC but also the XYZ of risk governance and a program that would benefit directors and risk officers alike," she continued.

The fundamental Duty of Care for directors around risk is to ensure that our organizations take risks well in pursuit of our goals and ambitions. This course furthers the fulfillment of that duty.
