"Stefanus has dedicated his professional career to the advancement of governance practices in the public and private sector, profit, and not-for-profit organizations, as well as the development of governance course programs in universities and business schools across Asia/Pacific and East Africa region, and in particular in Southeast Asian countries, where a robust growth in governance practices has been seen over these past two decades," said David R.

"As a member of the IFC corporate governance team, he has extended his reach to the continent of Africa and will be even more valuable to those he serves with his new learnings and recognition," he continued.

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.

"This is one of the most comprehensive and thorough online courses for members of the board of directors and senior management as well as corporate governance and risk management experts I have ever experienced," said Mr. Handoyo. "The course provided me with a holistic understanding of governance, risk management, and sustainability, and how board members should build an integrated thinking and approach around their enterprise risk governance and management practices. It is indeed a well-designed course with a wide spectrum of knowledge, carefully chosen articles and references, and well-presented case studies on risk governance by global experts from diverse experiences and backgrounds. It is both practical and relevant for today's modern enterprises. I highly recommend this online course to anyone interested in deepening their knowledge on risk governance or aspiring to be a member of the board of directors."

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.
