Corporate Governance – A Comprehensive Overview https://lnkd.in/d-9BdrDk #business #management #corporategovernance #udemy #education #freeonlinecourses

🌟 Shine a light on learning 🌟 For years, I’ve aspired to become a non executive director, but I’ve hesitated and allowed other priorities to take precedence. Now, I'm excited to announce that I have taken a decisive step forward by enrolling in the AICD course, scheduled for later this year. Why? My decision goes beyond simply ticking off a personal goal. It's about: 🚀Pushing my boundaries and stepping out of my comfort zone 🚀Deepening my understanding of crucial business aspects like corporate governance, risk management, and compliance 🚀Creating an opportunity to contribute to ethical business practices 🚀Bringing my unique expertise to the boardroom table I am also looking forward to connecting with other influential professionals, learning from experienced directors, and expanding my network. 🚀 The Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) offers a comprehensive program that equips aspiring directors with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in boardrooms. 💡 So, why now? Because growth happens when we challenge ourselves. It’s time to enhance my skills, contribute in a different way, and embrace the responsibilities and opportunities that come with a director’s role. 🙌 #HittingGoals #ProfessionalDevelopment #NED #DirectorsJourney

Do people #trust you? Do people like you? Internal auditors believe they are trusted advisors, but what does it really take to be trusted and to be considered an advisor. A lot more than most in #internalaudit do. In this video series I dig into the work it really takes to gain someone's #trust and to have them see you as an advisor. I this video I share more about knowing and liking, how we will add upon the skills you need to be seen by others as a trusted advisor, and some questions you can ask yourself to see how well you are doing now and where you can improve. Before people will trust you, they have to know and like you first. ----- Join me in the Audit Leader Forum™ https://bit.ly/AuditLeader and check out my courses on cRisk Academy® https://lnkd.in/eqtPaMS

One key finding from our research has been that Opportunities are pro-actively removed from risk registers if: 1. They are rejected for implementation 2. If they are accepted for implementation This leaves only the 'in limbo' opportunities waiting for a decision to be made about them left on the risk register. Is it any wonder that the risk register is the wrong tool to manage opportunities?
