Overview

Globally, regulators are increasingly tying the volume of risk banks assume to the capital they must hold, while financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-centric management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and global markets grow in complexity, effective risk management faces escalating challenges. A critical takeaway from the banking crisis over the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; thus, efficient management requires a clear understanding of 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 implementing an enterprise-wide approach to risk management integration
• The use of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture where every employee actively contributes to managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic goals
• An exploration of potential challenges future risk managers may encounter.

This course extensively utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts covered over the five-day program. Historical events at various banks will be referenced throughout to illustrate failures in risk management and to identify actions that could have prevented losses.
