Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must maintain, while financial institutions are adopting risk-centric management frameworks. As banks, their products, regulatory environments, and global markets grow more complex, effective risk management becomes increasingly challenging. A critical insight from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must understand these interactions.

Key features of this course include:

• A comprehensive explanation of current risk-based regulations
• A detailed examination of the major risks confronting banks
• Industry best practices for implementing an enterprise-wide risk management approach
• The application of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where every employee actively manages risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• An exploration of potential challenges risk managers may face in the future

The course utilizes extensive case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas presented over the five days. Historical banking events are analyzed throughout to illustrate how failures in risk management occurred and what actions could have prevented losses.
