Overview

Regulators around the world are increasingly tying the level of risk a bank assumes to the amount of capital it must hold. Consequently, banks and financial service firms are adopting risk-based management practices more frequently. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and global markets grow increasingly complex, effective risk management presents ever greater challenges. A critical lesson 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:

• An explanation of current risk-based regulations
• A detailed review of the major risks facing banks
• Industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the organization
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture that ensures everyone actively manages risks in alignment with the bank's strategic objectives
• An exploration of the challenges risk managers may face in the future

Throughout the five-day course, extensive use will be made of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered. Historical banking events will be utilized to highlight instances where risk management failed and to discuss actions that could have prevented losses.
