First Capital Plus Bank has organized a 3-day training
workshop on Risk Management for all management and unit heads at the African
Regent Hotel. The workshop was organized for the company by Cambridge Global
Partners, a U.K based international strategy and business consultancy firm
founded by a group of University of Cambridge alumni and associated world class
experts.  Speaking at the opening of the training programme, Chief Executive Officer of First Capital Plus Bank, John Kofi Mensah stated that there’s the need for organizations to adopt a more objective, scientific and data-centric approach to risk management and treat risk management as enterprise-driven as opposed to departmental-driven. He stated that traditionally, the concept of Risk Management has been seen as the sole preserve of the Risk Management Department but risk is inherent in every facet of an organization’s operations and it’s important for organizations to deploy sound enterprise-wide risk management strategies in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. He continued that FCP’s focus is to become a benchmark for advanced risk management practice in Africa by deploying the most advanced contemporary global risk management models adapted to the complexities and peculiarities of the Ghanaian market. In an interview with the General Manager for Risk Management, Dr. Charles Akuetteh, he stated that as a new entrant in Ghana’s banking industry, the complexities of the company’s operations has deepened and there’s therefore the need for a more integrated, scientific and detailed company-wide risk management approach to decision-making in order to consistently deliver value to customers, staff, shareholders and stakeholders in general.
