About this module

Board-level risk governance is where directors get caught: not for managing risk, but for failing to oversee it.

This module draws the line between the board's job and management's, across risk appetite and emerging risks like AI, climate and cyber. The governing body carries this duty by any name: company directors, retirement fund trustees, public-entity councils and accounting authorities, and body corporate trustees. Advanced means we assume you already sit on a board and know what a risk register is. We start where the accountability starts. [127/180 chars, PASS]. Promoted lead line, shown large above the body.
