Ghana\u2019s gambling regulator has received two days of training on enterprise risk management as it looks to strengthen its internal oversight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ghana.- Ghana\u2019s gambling regulator, the Gaming Commission of Ghana<\/strong> (GCG), has completed a two-day enterprise risk management programme led by the country\u2019s Internal Audit Agency (IAA), as the Commission looks to strengthen how it manages risks across its regulatory work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training was held at the Commission\u2019s premises on September 14 and 15, with staff taken through ways of dealing with risks that could affect the regulator\u2019s work<\/strong>. The IAA\u2019s Enterprise Risk Management Directorate delivered the programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IAA said the sessions focused on building the GCG\u2019s ability to spot and deal with risks as part of its day-to-day work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Cynthia Sallah<\/strong>, the agency\u2019s deputy director-general for Technical and Field Operations, opened the training on behalf of the IAA\u2019s Director-General.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training comes as the GCG continues to develop its approach to gambling regulation. During its 20th anniversary celebrations in May, the Commission highlighted the use of technology and data in regulation<\/a>, while investor confidence and responsible gambling were also identified as important issues for the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n
