Overview

Globally, regulators are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must hold. Consequently, banks and financial services firms are adopting risk-based management practices more extensively. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow in complexity, effective risk management becomes increasingly challenging. A critical lesson from the banking crises of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; therefore, banks must comprehend these interactions to manage them efficiently.

Key features include:

• An explanation of current risk-based regulations.
• A detailed review of the primary risks banks face.
• Industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the entire organization.
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture that ensures 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 utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at various banks will be analyzed throughout the course to highlight instances where risk management failed and to identify actions that could have prevented losses.

Objectives
