Overview
In partnership with the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID), this unique module provides a 360-degree board-level view of key strategic areas and issues faced by company directors.
The Board has ultimate responsibility for managing risks. The Board should determine the company’s levels of risk tolerance and risk policies, and advise management in the design, implementation and monitoring of the risk management and internal control systems intended to avert crises. Consequently, the Board must work with management in dealing with unpredictable events which may lead to crisis. Of particular importance in our digital world, cybersecurity is now a core component of risk management.
