COSO Enterprise Risk Management Certificate
CPE Hours: 18
INTRODUCTION
The complexity of enterprise risk has changed, new risks have emerged, and managing it has become everyone’s responsibility.
The new Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) Certificate Program offers you the unique opportunity to learn the concepts and principles of the updated ERM framework and to be prepared to integrate the framework into your organization’s strategy-setting process to drive business performance. Plus, you’ll earn up to 18 hours of CPE.
A combination of self-study pre-work and an in-person workshop provide the knowledge necessary to understand and apply COSO’s Enterprise Risk Management015Integrating with Strategy and Performance.

ABOUT THE TRAINER
Mr Marinus de Pooter is an independent interim manager, advisor and trainer. He focuses on helping leadership teams to stay future-proof through continued value creation and protection. Analyzing what their key stakeholders mean by ‘value’, ‘result’, ‘success’ and ‘improvement’ is the starting point of the practical value management approach that he has developed. Marinus claims that there is little value in building separate compliance- oriented risk management silos. Instead, he believes that leadership teams can benefit from using an integrated approach, that connects and engages experts. Their expertise is needed for developing suitable working standards and practices.
Decision making involves balancing both opportunities and risks, both potential pros and cons. Marinus emphasises the importance for leadership teams to foster and monitor that the decision-makers:
- are honest and competent people;
- have clear goals and mandates;
- dispose of relevant and reliable information;
- reconcile conflicting interests in accordance with the core values.
Previously, Marinus worked as Director of Finance at E&Y Global Client Consulting, European Director Internal Audit at Office Depot and Executive Director ERM at EY Risk Advisory.
