Training: Risk Assessment for Investors in Africa

Risk Assessment for Investors in Africa

A practical training for PE and VC professionals

In today’s investment environment, risk rarely announces itself. It shows up quietly in counterparties, markets, regulations, and political shifts. Knowing how to spot it early makes all the difference.

In partnership with PEVCA, Control Risks is delivering a focused, two-day, in-person training designed to help investors strengthen how they assess, manage, and monitor risk across African markets.

This practical programme equips participants with real-world frameworks for conducting risk-based due diligence, understanding political and macroeconomic dynamics, and building effective post-transaction monitoring structures. The sessions draw on live case studies, group exercises, and the on-the-ground experience of senior Control Risks experts.

Who should attend

Private capital professionals, fund managers, and investment teams working across Africa, including investment, risk, legal, compliance, operations, strategy, and investor relations.

What to expect

• Practical tools for pre- and post-transaction risk assessment

• Clear approaches to identifying integrity, regulatory, and market red flags

• Guidance on navigating political, geopolitical, and macroeconomic risk

• Interactive discussions grounded in real investment scenarios
