Your critical control work under APRA CPS 234 is effective, but invisible to executives who don’t see how it de-risks strategy
The situation this course is for
Compliance leaders often deliver rigorous control frameworks, yet their contributions remain buried in audit trails and assurance reports. The work meets standards, but doesn’t shape executive conversations. That gap isn't about quality. It's about positioning. When leadership reshuffles or regulatory scrutiny increases, unseen work gets undervalued, even if it's flawless.
Who this is for
Senior risk and control leader in a global financial institution, experienced in governance frameworks, managing complex compliance programs, and interfacing with audit and legal, yet whose strategic contributions are under-recognized by executive sponsors
Who this is not for
Junior compliance analysts, auditors focused on checklists, consultants selling point solutions, or practitioners outside regulated financial services
What you walk away with
- Articulate APRA CPS 234 control outputs in executive terms that connect to risk appetite and strategic resilience
- Position existing artefacts, SoA, control mappings, maturity assessments, as inputs to leadership decisions
- Shape internal narratives so your work is referenced in risk committee updates, not just audit logs
- Build repeatable templates that surface control value without adding reporting burden
- Gain recognition as a strategic enabler, not just a compliance deliverer
