Overview

Regulators worldwide are increasingly tying the level of risk assumed by banks to the capital they must hold, while financial institutions are progressively adopting risk-based management practices. As banks, their products, regulatory frameworks, and the global market grow in complexity, effective risk management becomes ever more challenging. 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 course features include:

• an explanation of current risk-based regulations
• a detailed examination of the primary risks encountered by banks
• industry best practices for implementing an enterprise-wide approach to integrating risk management across the entire organization
• utilization of governance techniques to foster a group-wide culture ensuring all personnel actively participate in managing risks in alignment with the bank’s strategic objectives
• an exploration of potential challenges future risk managers may encounter

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

Objectives

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

• major risks within the financial industry and key international risk regulations
• how to manage a bank’s assets and liabilities while maximizing returns
• the interplay between different risk types and how banks employ an integrated approach to their management
