Core Issues in Regulatory & Risk-Control Practice

The CIRRP seminar covers fundamental questions in regulatory design as well as examining specific contemporary puzzles currently demanding attention from Australasian regulatory bodies. It thus provides a suitable orientation for newcomers to the regulatory business, appropriate for practitioners at any rank—from the front line to the boardroom, and every level of management in between.  It also offers seasoned regulatory professionals an opportunity to examine the broad array of possibilities in terms of regulatory strategy and practice, and to use that richer picture as backdrop for reflecting on their own past experience and considering their future aspirations and plans. 

Please note that this program emphasises management and practice of risk-control operations (i.e., regulatory practice) as opposed to the reform of law itself (regulatory policy). It is also oriented more towards social regulation (provision of safety, health, & security) rather than economic regulation (managing the efficient functioning of specific markets).

You will have opportunities, both during class discussions and outside class-time, to raise other issues you currently face and to draw on your own professional experience.
