What people are saying

"This introduction to joining an Audit & Risk Committee was insightful and delivered with superb clarity pitched perfectly for all experiences of the participants. Highly recommended for all new or aspiring Board members."

Danny McCoy, CEO, Ibec and INED Iput Real Estate Dublin

“This workshop was very useful in explaining, in appropriate detail, the basic elements required, and expectations of a board, from a member joining an Audit & Risk committee. The content was relevant and was very well presented by a knowledgeable & competent professional.”

Fergus McNamara, Dublin Town BID Company

"Great course, would recommend it highly."

Peter Carroll CDir, BDO Ireland

"Having recently joined an Audit & Risk Committee, the 'Audit and Risk Committee: An Introduction' workshop was pitched perfectly.  The content was thorough, relevant, current and Martina generously shared her wealth of insights. The use of case studies and discussion with peer Directors was very useful.  I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone considering joining an Audit and Risk Committee."

Karen Morton, Non-Executive Director, daa plc

"I would recommend the Audit and Risk Committee workshop highly to people from all backgrounds who want to improve their ability to identify and manage risks and to chair, participate in or engage with Audit and Risk Committees. As well as providing a solid grounding on the fundamentals, the leader provided excellent guidance on how non-financial  and emergent risks should be addressed. Input from participants was also encouraged and added a lot of value."
