Dear Risk Professionals,

Understand how ISO 31000 is changing the global risk management community.

Learn how to embed the standard into your risk management program and explore

the latest developments in risk management and management systems for

standards.

G31000 is proud to present the programme of the fourth international conference on

the ISO 31000 Risk Management Standard, offering the highest quality educational

and networking experien ce available for risk professionals.

The rise of the ISO 31000 risk management standard worldwide is changing the risk management land

scape beyond compliance towards improved performance and better decision-making.

Adopted in more than 40 countries as the national risk management standard and translated in at least 23

languages, ISO 31000 is now internationally recognized as guidance for managing any type of risk, for any

organisation not specific to any industry or sector.

This conference brings together some of the most successful, resourceful and innovative risk professionals

using ISO 31000. During working and educational sessions, you will be given the opportunity to meet and

learn from experts in ISO 31000, risk managers, CEOs, CFOs and officers.

Given the high demand for training and certification on ISO 31000, we also give you the change to attend

post conference master classes and offer you the opportunity to be trained by the world’s leading experts

in ISO 31000.

We look forward to welcoming you to South Africa’s Mother City, Cape Town!

Yours sincerely,

Alex Dali, MBA, ARM

President

Global Institute for Risk Management Standards – G31000

DO YOU KNOW THE ISO 31000 RISK MANAGEMENT STANDARD?

Is your present risk management programme aligned with the principles, framework and the process

outlined in the ISO 31000? Are you sure that your consulting advisors are recommending a global RM

solution aligned with ISO 31000? Is your risk management programme oriented to promote business

performance or is it perceived as a bureaucratic compliance / reporting system?

This highly knowledge-based two-day conference explores how ISO 31000 can be incorporated into your

existing risk management practices. It will help attendees to develop a practical tailored action plan for

their own business or those of their clients.

Presenters will show how line managers, auditors and risk managers can use ISO 31000 as a catalyst for

developing sustainable risk management and can assist in embedding and proving risk management

effectiveness. Participants will learn how ISO 31000 can add value in building a solid risk management

framework and at each stage of the risk management process – from establishing the context and risk

identification – to monitoring and reporting – without creating a bureaucratic compliance / reporting

system.

The conference will address the following key topics:

• Performance

• Decision Making

• Governance

• Raising Awareness for ISO31000 Worldwide

• Business Continuity

• Finance and Banking

• G31000 Certification, worldwide

• Internal Audit

• Revision of COSO ERM

• How to Implement ERM

• Insurance

• Public Sector

• Risk Maturity Model

• World-class Standards in Risk management

• Risk -Based Thinking

• Revision of ISO 31000

• IT Security

• Health & Safety

• GRC & Compliance

About South AfricaAbout South Africa

South Africa, a land that many have called the most beautiful place on earth, is a place where one can feel

the rhythmic pulse of Africa intertwined with the western influences of the past, a place where the soul of a

country comes from the hearts and minds of its people, where hope and joy has been spawned by the

pursuit of freedom and equality, where the rolling hills, towering mountains and fertile valleys give way to

vibrant and dynamic cities, and where the wildest of experiences can be enjoyed by the most sophisticated

of palates. Yes indeed, South Africa truly is a multi-faceted and deeply interesting place to visit.

It is this rich diversity of experiences that transcends all boundaries and flows evenly from its people to its

landscapes that makes South Africa so unique. From when you enter South Africa to when you leave you

will experience this diversity in many forms, for instance South Africa is a melting pot of different cultures,

creeds and backgrounds from around the world and throughout the continent that blend together to form

what is affectionately known as the Rainbow Nation, each one being as uniquely African as the next. You

can journey through the wild wonders of the African bush where the prolific wildlife roams free and the

natural beauty stuns and astounds, you can do this on foot, by car, through the air in a hot air balloon or on

the back of the mighty African Elephant. You can travel over mountains and around coastlines where the

scenic landscape could not have been painted better by the most gifted of artists and end up in

cosmopolitan cities which form the backbone of the African renaissance. You can experience our rich and

interesting history, and learn how a dark and tumultuous past has given rise to one of the newest and most

progressive democracies, where a constitution is not only a bill of rights but a way of life. All of this is

brought together by world class infrastructure and easily accessible tourism routes which not only provide

access to South Africa, but to our neighbours Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Mozambique -

each country offering its own unique experiences and charm.

General Travel InformationGeneral Travel Information

CLIMATE

Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate, with mild, moderately wet winters and dry, warm summers.

During summer (November to February) the temperature on the coast generally ranges between 15°C and

35°C (while inland it increases by approximately 3-5°C).

The summer sun is no laughing matter, however, so make sure that you slap on plenty of strong sunscreen.

The south-easterly wind known as the Cape Doctor also makes its appearance in summer, wreaking havoc

on hairstyles and beach parties, but performing a vital service to the city by clearing it of smog.

Average temperatures and monthly rainfall in Cape Town - Dec 15-25˚C / 59-77˚F – 17mm / 0.7in

CREDIT CARDS, SHOPPING

The South African Rand (ZAR) is the local currency. All major credit cards are accepted throughout South Africa.

CURRENCY AND EXCHANGE

The South African Rand (ZAR) is the local currency. Foreign exchange can be done in any of the hotels. A

passport will be required for ALL transactions.

Foreigners can claim sales tax refunds and should ask salesmen to fill out a tax refund form when

purchasing any goods.

ELECTRICITY/VOLTAGE

The voltage throughout South Africa is 220V/50hz. Most plugs are 15 amp 3-prong or 5 amp 2-prong, in

both cases with round pins. If you're bringing anything electrical, bring an adapter. Most hotels have 110

volt outlets for electric shavers and appliances. Adaptors can be bought at the airport on your arrival, and

may be available at your hotel.

LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

Registration for the Congress implies that delegates agree that neither the Local Organizing Committee

nor the Professional Conference Organizer assume any liability or responsibility for any losses, accidents or

damage to person's private property. Delegates are requested to make their own arrangements for

medical, travel and personal insurance.

MALARIA

Malaria risk in South Africa is confined to the northeastern parts of the country (the Lowveld of

Mpumalanga and Limpopo and on the Maputaland coast of KwaZulu-Natal). The time of the conference

coincides with the rainy season in that region, therefore the risk of malaria is high. Antimalarial

chemoprophylaxis is recommended as well as measures to prevent mosquito bites should be taken.

Page 11: Mount Nelson Hotel • Cape Town, South Africa 4 ...g31000.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/G31000-digital-brochure_2.pdf · The venue selected for the conference is the Mount Nelson

The cheapest, safest and most effective measures against malaria are physical barriers such as a mosquito

net, and the use of a good insect repellent.

MEDICAL SERVICE

South Africa does not have a national health scheme. The patient is individually responsible for settling all

accounts. Travel insurance covering accidents, illness or hospitalization during your stay is strongly

recommended.

Access to medical care for Conference participants will be available should there be a need.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGE

South Africa has 11 official languages but at the Congress only ENGLISH will be spoken. No simultaneous

translation will be provided.

TIME ZONE

Central European Time (GMT+2 hours)

inoculation certificate. Immunization against cholera and small pox are not required, nor are other

vaccinations required when visiting South Africa.

before departing for South Africa.
