Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the volume of risk a bank assumes to the amount of capital it must maintain, while financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-centric management practices. The growing complexity of banking operations, product offerings, regulatory frameworks, and the global market imposes significant challenges for effective risk oversight. A critical takeaway from the banking crises of the past five years is that risks are deeply interconnected; therefore, banks must comprehend these interactions to manage them efficiently.

Key features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a comprehensive review of the primary risks confronting banks
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management
• the application of governance techniques to cultivate a group-wide culture where every employee actively contributes to managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of potential future challenges for risk managers

The course heavily utilizes case studies designed to explore, examine, and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five-day period. Historical events within banking will be referenced throughout to illustrate instances where risk management failures led to losses, along with the actions that could have prevented them.

Objectives

The primary objective of this course is to assist bank management in delivering an appropriate integrated strategy for navigating the complex and evolving risks and regulations of today’s international banking landscape. Specifically, this course aims to provide senior-level management with an understanding of:

• major risks within the financial industry and key international risk regulations
• strategies for managing a bank’s assets and liabilities to maximize returns
