Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the volume of risk a bank undertakes to the capital it must hold. Consequently, banks and financial service firms are shifting towards risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global marketplace grow more intricate, effective risk management faces mounting challenges. A crucial lesson from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must understand these interdependencies.

Key features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed review of the primary risks faced by banks
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management throughout the organization
• utilizing governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively contributes to managing risks in alignment with the bank's strategic objectives
• insights into the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future

The course extensively employs case studies to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered during the five-day program. Historical events at banks are used throughout to illustrate failures in risk management and to highlight actions that could have prevented losses.
