Whether you are part of a large corporation, small business, or a nonprofit organization, tremendous importance is placed on compliance due to increased government regulations. Who helps these organizations minimize risk? With Kaplan Continuing Education’s Risk Management Certificate and the right training, it could be you.*

 

Why study risk management? A Risk Management Certificate could help put you in a primary, go-to position across the board and in the boardroom. Exercising risk control and loss prevention for property, liability, human resource, and income risks is an asset for companies both on their way up and already at the top.

 

The techniques of enterprise risk management (ERM) enable you to focus on all of an organization’s risks and how they interact in a portfolio effect. With risk management training, you could create a risk management program that protects and preserves organizational assets by identifying and analyzing risk exposures to minimize the impact of loss.

 

Consider the value in being the one capable of making decisions under conditions of uncertainty. This program is designed to provide you with the skills needed to implement the right risk management system that allows you to tell your client, “Consider it done.”

  • Identify


    Identify and analyze loss exposures including property, liability, personnel, and net income to promote profit, continuous operation, stable earnings, and growth.


  • Examine

 Imagine Where You Can Apply 

Opportunities range from risk management, loss prevention, insurance, accounting, finance, and government to work as an independent consultant.* Risk management continues to evolve to address issues such as corporate governance, executive liability, business continuity, national security, and the risk transparency requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Among the major provisions of the Act are criminal and civil penalties for securities violations, auditor independence, and increased disclosure regarding executive compensation, insider trading, and financial statements. Today, thousands of companies now must ensure that their operations are Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. As such, risk managers have assumed a high profile, exerting considerable influence. Risk managers may earn from $70,000 to $105,000.†
