In today’s one hour session, you will have the opportunity to learn about how risk management and the achievement of your strategic and mission requirements are closely intertwined.
The risk management process can be compared to playing a game of chess. Every move is strategic and presents ongoing risk-taking as the game progresses and the chess pieces are moved from start to finish. In today’s one-hour session, you will have the opportunity to learn about how risk management and the achievement of your strategic and mission requirements are closely intertwined. We cover what it takes to identify risks and the fact that this is a shared responsibility. In this impactful session, Elena Yearly, who has worked in risk management in both private and public settings for the past two decades, will provide a historical view of risk management, the responsibilities we all have in identifying and reporting risks in any business setting and some valuable lessons learned and best practices in implementing effective risk management programs.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
