Risk Management
Our program on Risk Management
gives an introduction into the leading models and principles of risk management. Citing concrete examples in the context of
the current crisis, it demonstrates the benefits of effective risk management on firms, as well as the costly perils of risk
management deficiencies. It is specifically tailored to the emerging roles of accountants and auditors in risk management
with reference to legislative mandates. As such, the program highlights most recent issues and trends, and examines the impact
on current and proposed International Financial Reporting Standards on these issues.
We are presenting this
program jointly with Cygni Nova Caribbean Limited, independent risk management consultants with established partnerships in
finance, accounting, actuarial science, and insurance. The firm's Principal Consultant, Alvarez N. Mendez is a former
supervisor of financial institutions, financial consultant and director of a leading insurance brokerage firm. He has a proven
track record in risk management, regulation and private-sector delivery of financial services which brings to bear a relevant
and practical perspective on the program. Cygni-Nova Caribbean Limited is presently conducting risk management and governance
training, in collaboration with one of the region's leading actuarial firms, to the Board of Trustees of the pension
fund of a major Caribbean financial corporation.
