What is CPE (Continuing Professional Education)?

Continuing Professional Education or CPE as it is better known, is ongoing training for certified professionals that allows then to remain certified in certain fields. As an example all accounting professionals certified as CPAs or CMAs need to complete a specific number of CPE credit hours every year in order to maintain their credentials.

In Citadel Advantage's work with Illumeo, most of the online training programs that we offer carry CPE certification.

Are you a small business owner? Can you manage the operational risks in your business?

6 January 2021 - 10:00 AM PDT / 1:00 PM EDT / 5:00 PM UK

How can you manage your business successfully if you do not know anything about all the uncertainties that could make you fail?

Your operational risks are often vague and seemingly difficult to quantify but operational risk affect your people, process and systems and they are going to cause you to fail if you don’t identify and deal with them.

The size of your business or firm does not matter. If you have business objectives there are risks which will affect your ability to achieve them.

Yes, sure, you have locks on your doors, and possible have an alarm system. You have a sprinkler system; you have probably bought fire insurance too, and you may also have liability insurance. You are already dealing with some of your operational risks BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ONES YOU HAVEN’T THOUGHT ABOUT YET?

Do you have a system to identify, prioritize and manage your operational risks effectively? You do not need to control every risk; you just have to prioritize and do something about the ones that affect your objectives and could cause you the most damage.

Strange as it may sound everyone in your firm already knows where your risks are. The people who do the work generally know where the risks are, specifically in the tasks that they do – BUT they may not be aware of the true implications of those risks – and neither may you.

Our Online Mini-Course “Managing Operational Risk in a Small Business” is designed for small and medium sized organizations. It presents you with a structured approach for identifying, assessing and managing those risks.

Just give us 90 minutes of your time and a payment of a really LOW fee and the secrets of successful Operational Risk management are yours.

Operations Risk Management and Mitigation - from Assessment to Implementation

2-day In-person Seminar - Richard Barr, Operational Risk & Back Office Specialist

Coming soon.. Please contact COMPLIANCE ONLINE customer care for new schedule

Recently, a series of headline-grabbing operational risk incidents at banks, other financial institutions and even regulators have again brought the issue of operational risk management to the forefront of the agendas of CEOs, CROs, risk managers and internal and external auditors alike. These incidents are wide ranging and flow from bank ATM collapses, bank operating system failures, regulatory settlements in the ongoing US sub-prime mortgage saga, rogue traders and the connected risk managers who either missed or were willfully blind to all the warning signs.

As the size and complexity of financial institutions have increased, so too have the challenges of understanding and reducing operational risks down to truly manageable levels. Increased regulatory concern and scrutiny have also increased the cost of operational risk events in the shape of outright financial loss, regulatory fines and declining customer confidence

Operational Risk Management (ORM) is an effective tool for not only maintaining but increasing, bank profits, shareholder value, public perceptions and goodwill. Executed properly, improvements in ORM can lead to substantial financial, reputational and regulatory benefits – all this adds to increased profitability, greater financial stability and improved customer satisfaction. But to achieve these gains, financial institutions must apply a consistent and comprehensive approach to managing their operational risks. They must also understand that this approach is fundamentally different from the approaches that they use in managing market, credit and liquidity risks.
