The Decisive board – Australia

Product Description

Monthly CPD training for directors and senior managers in Australian Mutual Banks and other Financial Services Businesses

Directors of Australian ADIs – banks, credit unions, building societies and the like – face a different set of requirements from those who serve on the boards of other sorts of businesses. And those who serve on the boards of mutual or customer-owned institutions have further, specialised requirements placed upon them by the regulators.

The Decisive Board has been created to assist these directors – and senior management – in developing and maintaining the requisite skills and knowledge. It is a monthly newsletter plus quiz (published 10 times per year) designed to assist directors and senior management fulfil their professional obligations and meet their professional development needs.

Topics

Each month’s edition addresses a different, current topic relating to ADI governance. Recent editions have been

Credit Risk Management and the Board
Boards must effectively oversee compliance with AML/CTF obligations
Boards play a critical role in the oversight of cybersecurity risk
The need for effective Board oversight of governance, culture, remuneration, and accountability risks
Election, removal and resignation of directors: what do you need to know for your AGM?
Effective board meetings and COVID-19

The quiz

The quiz (answers provided) is designed to be flexible in the way it is used: we know of some boards that work through the material before their regular meetings; and others where the directors work individually and submit their quiz answers to the training manager for assessment and feedback. There are other possibilities.

In GRC Solutions’ view, reading each edition of The Decisive Board and completing the quiz is equivalent to an hour’s CPD activity.

ADIs must ensure that their responsible persons maintain and update their knowledge, skills and expertise, including through regular training. Responsible persons may become ineligible to continue in their positions if they fail to satisfy the criteria for competency set out in 30(a) of CPS 520. – GRC Solutions Guide to financial institutions’ training obligations

“The ‘Adaptive’ learning feature is fantastic! It gives learners a sense of control of how they wish to learn and the opportunity to re-confirm/validate their existing knowledge.

The training content is easy to follow, with the use of case studies and relevant scenarios to demonstrate to learners how the content is applied in real life. As a Salt platform Administrator, my experience is made easy with the range of reports available and the patience and support of the GRC Support team, who are always ready and willing to help.”
