Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must maintain, while financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management models. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and global markets grow more complex, effective risk management faces escalating challenges.

Key features of this course include:

• an overview of current risk-based regulatory frameworks
• a comprehensive examination of the principal risks confronting banks
• industry best practices for implementing an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management
• the application of governance techniques to foster an organizational culture where every member actively manages risks in alignment with strategic objectives
• an analysis of future challenges for risk managers

The course extensively utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas presented over the five days. Historical events within the banking sector are referenced throughout to illustrate failures in risk management and to highlight potential actions that could have mitigated losses.
