Overview

In today's global landscape, regulators are increasingly tying the amount of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold. Consequently, banks and financial institutions are shifting toward risk-based management practices. As banks, their product lines, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow more complex, effective risk management faces mounting challenges. A crucial insight from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must understand these interactions.

Key features of this course include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed examination of the primary risks banks face
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to risk management integration
• the use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture, ensuring active participation in risk management aligned with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of potential challenges for risk managers in the future

Throughout the five-day course, extensive use is made of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas presented. Historical banking events will be analyzed to highlight failures in risk management and to discuss actions that could have prevented losses.
