Course Overview

This advanced professional course provides an integrated framework for managing Governance, Risk, and Compliance within insurance companies. It focuses on how organizations can align governance structures, enterprise risk management, and regulatory compliance to strengthen decision-making, accountability, operational resilience, and long-term business performance. The course examines the relationship between the Board of Directors, executive management, risk management, compliance, internal audit, actuarial functions, and business units. Participants will learn how to establish clear responsibilities, strengthen oversight, improve risk-based decision-making, and create effective escalation and assurance mechanisms across the organization. Particular attention is given to the major risk areas affecting insurance companies, including underwriting, claims, reinsurance, investments, liquidity, capital and solvency, operational risk, technology and cybersecurity, conduct risk, regulatory risk, and emerging risks. The course demonstrates how these risks can be integrated into a unified governance and risk management framework. The program also addresses regulatory compliance, customer protection, market conduct, internal controls, regulatory reporting, risk appetite, risk indicators, stress testing, emerging risks, and crisis governance. Through practical case studies and an integrated final workshop, participants will develop a practical Governance, Risk and Compliance framework capable of supporting effective oversight and sustainable insurance operations.
