Globally, regulators are increasingly tying the level of risk a bank takes with the amount of capital it must hold. As a result, banks and financial services institutions are adopting more risk-based management practices. The complexity of banks, their products, regulations, and the global market is on the rise, posing greater challenges for effective risk management.

Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight instances where risks were not effectively managed and actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.
