Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the volume of risk a bank assumes to the amount of capital it must hold, while financial institutions are shifting toward risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and global markets grow more intricate, effective risk management faces escalating challenges. A critical insight from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must comprehend these interactions.

Key features include:

• a clear explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed examination of the primary risks confronting 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 active participation in managing risks aligned with the bank’s strategic objectives
• a look at the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future.

Throughout this five-day course, extensive use will be made of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas presented. Historical banking events will serve as a constant reference to highlight how risk management failures occurred and what actions could have prevented financial losses.
