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.

• 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.
