Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the capital banks must hold to the level of risk they undertake. Consequently, banks and financial service providers are shifting toward risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulations, and the global market 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 understand these interactions.

Key features 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 entire organization
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where everyone actively manages risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• Analysis of potential challenges risk managers may face in the future

The course extensively utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks are used throughout to highlight failures in risk management and discuss actions that could have been taken to prevent losses.
