What people learn in this class, and all GRAPA training , is that success in the practice of RA depends more than anything else on the competency that the professional develops and exercises throughout their career. Professional ethics, being in alignment with managements directives and appetite for risk, being sensitive to the governance approach being taken by the firm and the application of standard procedures, best practices and a commitment to the principles of governance are taught and explained in this class.
