The GRC Academy and OBA organized a 3-day CERMP certification course in Muscat, Oman.

The program was delivered by Global Risk Clinic with the support of the Oman Banks Association at the OBA’s offices in Muscat, Oman. The course was designed to deliver the fundamentals of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and an understanding of advanced ERM topics. A number of bankers participated in this course that was held at the OBA office located in Muscat, Oman.

OBA Academy is part of the Oman Banks Association. It focuses on educating the Omani banking community on global trends, recent developments, and best practices by working closely with international and reputable resources such as the Global Risk Clinic, to share their knowledge and expertise with senior banking executives and decision-makers. Over the last couple of years, OBA and GRC Academy delivered about 12 courses together in Muscat, around Enterprise Risk Management. The OBA itself has also delivered other courses such as Environment Social Governance (ESG), commercial law, data protection, consumer protection, cybersecurity, customer service, and value added tax.

The Global Risk Clinic and OBA are planning a 1-day event around Cyber Security and Anti-Money Laundering in September 2023, in Muscat. The event will be followed by a panel discussion and live entertainment.

Oman Banks Association is a non-profit professional association created to represent the banking sector, promote Omani banking activities, coordinate with regulators on matters of policy and strategy, and support banking excellence in Oman.

John Clements Consultants, Inc. recently hosted a breakfast roundtable discussion on Global Trends in Risk Management with speaker Michael E. Jensen, CEO and Primary Risk Management Advisor at Global Risk Clinic. The event was held last November 18, 2019 at Mirèio, Raffles Makati.

During the roundtable discussion, the subject matter expert – GRC CEO Michael E. Jensen – expounded on several areas:
 
  • Strategy is key, particularly in risk evaluation and management.
  • Strategy is the central concept of how an organization will achieve its objectives.
  • The top three new technologies that increase risk are Cloud, IoT, and Machine Learning/AI.
  • The top three most critical risk categories facing organizations today are Information/Cybersecurity, Reputation, and Financial.

Risk management helps organizations achieve a successful business strategy by identifying, assessing and controlling threats. It would be beneficial for an organization if everyone in the company will work together and speak the same language to help reduce and mitigate the risks. As Michael mentioned, risk management is everyone’s business.
