Overview

Regulators across the globe are increasingly linking the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, and financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulations, and the global marketplace grow more complex, the challenges of effective risk management intensify. A critical lesson from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; to manage them efficiently, banks must comprehend these interactions.

Key features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed review of the major risks banks face
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrate risk management throughout an organization
• using governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks in line with the bank's strategic objectives
• an exploration of the challenges risk managers may encounter in the future

The course makes extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight how they failed to manage their risks and what actions could have been taken to prevent losses.
