The International Governance and Risk Institute was formed by a group of professionals that share a passion, a vision and a common belief. This is that only through continuing collaboration, exchanging information and regular education can professionals and the organisations they represent in the financial sector, regulatory bodies and law enforcement fundamentally develop better and safer working practices. The global economy is not merely a glib phrase as recent events have shown how instabilities and perturbations in one part of the world have had dramatic and far-reaching consequences to economies on a global scale. Huge technological advances in trading and financial systems and the exponential growth of some truly colossal emerging economies are of course good for investors, speculators and traders worldwide. However, financial criminals are equally well-placed to avail themselves of these very same opportunities using systems and methods that are frequently very sophisticated and difficult to detect.

Our aim is to deliver excellent training programmes that are relevant, timely and targeted. Of course markets are unpredictable but human nature is not, as it is evident that mistakes made in the 1920s and 1980s are still happening today. Working always with a growing faculty of professionals and experts, local governments and regulators, we believe that together we can make a difference by improving working practices, adopting modern and effective methods and implementing systems that will safeguard organisations from financial crime and the inherent serious reputational risk this carries.
