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.
