Overview

Globally, regulators are increasingly tying the amount of risk a bank assumes to the capital it must maintain. Consequently, banks and financial service institutions are shifting towards risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow more complex, effective risk management becomes a significant challenge. 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 of this programme include:

• An explanation of current risk-based regulations.
• A detailed review of the major risks confronting banks.
• Industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the organisation.
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture that ensures everyone actively manages risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives.
• An exploration of the challenges risk managers may face in the future.

The course extensively utilises case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be analysed throughout the course to highlight instances where risk management failed and to identify actions that could have prevented losses.

Objectives
