Professional Certificate in Enterprise Risk Management

Aims & Learning Outcomes

As enterprise risk management gains momentum in Singapore, more risk management professionals are beginning to recognize the value and benefits of risk assessment. They are seeking greater clarity on the implementation of risk control.  

 The Singapore Standards Council published SS IEC 31010:2021 Risk Management – Risk assessment techniques in 2022. This Singapore Standard provides guidance on the selection and application of techniques for assessing risk in a wide range of situations. The techniques are used to assist in making decisions where there is uncertainty, to provide information about risks, and as part of a process for managing risk. This complements the overarching ISO 31000.  

 With risk management professionals believing that the number of crises is on the rise, it is crucial for enterprises to be ready to respond with agility to multiple scenarios that have been rehearsed and tested. Equally important is to understand that many crises can be averted in the first place, allowing enterprises to focus on performance and growth.  

 Emerging technologies such as Artificial intelligence (AI) and trends in digital transformation, evolving regulatory compliance, and environmental, social and governance requirements are reshaping the risk landscape and influencing business continuity planning. The learning for the new normal is complemented by industry subject matter experts from various key industry sectors (such as technology, healthcare, and manufacturing, including small and medium enterprises).  

 This Professional Certificate in Enterprise Risk Management programme is developed in collaboration with the Risk and Insurance Management Association of Singapore (RIMAS) and Wuhan Technology and Business University. It is well designed to lead to national recognized and accredited RIMAS-Certified Professional Enterprise Risk Manager (PERM) credential.
