Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, while banks and financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market become more complex, effective risk management faces growing 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 include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed review of the major risks banks face
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrate risk management across the entire organisation
• the use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future

The course extensively utilises case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at various banks will be analysed throughout the course to highlight failures in risk management and the actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.
