GLOBAL ORGANIZATION, OH, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — The DCRO Institute, the world’s leading source of risk governance training and credentials for board members and C-suite executives, announced today the award of the prestigious Certificate in Risk Governance® to Edna Kanabahita of Washington, DC in the United States.
Edna is a risk specialist with the International Monetary Fund in Washington, DC. She is a former board member and director of the Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO) Uganda, Economic Policy Research Center and the Uganda Technology and Management University.
Before her time with the IMF, Edna served as the chief risk officer for Absa Bank Uganda, Barclays Bank of Uganda, Stanbic Bank Uganda and Development Finance Bank Uganda. She also worked as a Regional Risk Project Director for Accion International based in Accra, Ghana.
Her career includes work in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, and the United States, with leadership roles in development and institutional banking, strategy and innovation, risk management, and corporate relationship management.
Edna earned her MBA from the University of Edinburgh Business School and her bachelor’s degree from Makerere University. She is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and also holds a Diploma in Financial Management from the ACCA. Additionally, Edna was a member of the DCRO Institute’s Middle East/Africa guided study cohort program.
“Edna brings a wealth of knowledge, curiosity, and enthusiasm to her studies and work,” said David R. Koenig, QRD®, president and chief executive officer of the DCRO Institute. “It’s rare to find such a breadth of risk and innovation experience applied internationally. Edna will certainly have a wide and positive impact wherever she serves, and we are proud to count her among our credential holders.”
The Certificate in Risk Governance® is awarded to those who have completed The Board Members’ Course on Risk® – an intensive 17-course education program and evaluation. The curriculum is designed for current and aspiring board members who seek to advance the governance of risk-taking at their organizations and those who interact with boards. Taught by some of the world’s leading figures in risk governance, the program features lessons by nearly 50 board members, C-level executives, and well-known authors from five continents. No course on risk for board members as robust as this – depth, practicality, and global expertise – exists anywhere else.
“Participating in the Certificate in Risk Governance® program has been a transformative experience in my risk management career,” said Ms. Kanabahita. “The training has reframed my view of risk as a potential loss to considering risk management as a positive risk-taking tool for achieving goals. The comprehensive curriculum and insights from exceptional risk experts and the Middle East/Africa guided study cohort members have equipped me with the essential skills to ask the right questions about confident risk-taking in today’s dynamic environment. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to enhance their risk governance capabilities and drive effective risk management strategies,” she continued.
The fundamental Duty of Care for directors around risk is to ensure that our organizations take risks well in pursuit of our goals and ambitions. This course furthers the fulfillment of that duty.
