About the course

Whether new to risk management, seeking best practices or refreshing existing knowledge, this e-learning course provides practical guidance for building and embedding an effective risk appetite framework.

Through expert-led instruction and interactive exercises, learners will explore how to transform risk appetite from a static policy document into a practical tool that shapes risk management and governance. They will craft effective risk appetite statements and establish processes to monitor adherence, review key metrics and update the framework in response to business change.

At the end of the course, participants will put their learning into practice by identifying weaknesses in a risk appetite framework and deciding how to improve its design and implementation.
