2019 Risk Management Initiative (RIM) - Institution Assessment Training for Independent Assessors

From 22 to 24 May 2019, from 9am to 5pm, at ADA Luxembourg.

Objectives

The Institution Assessment Training for Independent Assessors, offered by PRMIA and RIM, is an in-depth, three-day training course designed for risk management experts, consultants, and consulting firms serving the microfinance industry. Through interactive lectures, facilitated discussions, and a case study, assessors learn to conduct a risk management gap analysis and facilitate the creation of a strategic risk management development plan using the Graduation Model and Institution Assessment framework. RIM’s cost-effective training course builds competencies, develops efficiency, and eliminates the need to create a comprehensive risk management assessment methodology, enhancing an assessor’s competitive advantage in the bidding process.
