Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the volume of risk banks take to the capital they must hold, prompting financial institutions to adopt risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulations, and the global market grow in complexity, effective risk management faces mounting challenges. 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 across the entire organisation
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively participates in managing risks in alignment 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 are utilised throughout to highlight failures in risk management and actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.
