Overview:

This video-based CPE course is included in the Not-for-Profit Certificate II Program. It can be purchased individually or as a part of the Not-for-Profit Certificate II - Governance and Assurance track.

How does your not-for-profit (NFP) ensure stewardship for funds received and accountability to constituents? Do you consider potential challenges or weaknesses - both operational and organizational - that could lead to negative consequences? Risk management is a continuous process. Failure to effectively consider and respond to risks could lead to lost revenue, increased costs, a tarnished reputation, and a decrease in constituents' perceived value of services. Not only is risk management an essential element of good governance, but it also informs the strategic planning process to keep an NFP on a path to mission success.

In this CPE course, you will learn how to apply risk management techniques using the COSO Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) framework to create a strategy and an internal control structure tailored for the NFP environment. This course contains step-by-step examples and case studies to help you create a scalable risk management structure for any NFP.
