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.

• 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.
