Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must hold, prompting financial institutions to adopt risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow more complex, effective risk management faces escalating challenges. A crucial insight from the banking crisis of the past five years is that risks are highly 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 major risks banks face
• Industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management
• Using governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks aligned with the bank’s strategic objectives
• An exploration of potential challenges risk managers may encounter in the future.

Throughout the five-day course, extensive case studies will be employed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered. Historical events at banks will illustrate how failures in risk management occurred and highlight actions that could have prevented losses.

Objectives
