Overview

Across the globe regulators are increasingly linking the amount of risk taken by a bank to the amount of capital it is required to hold and banks and financial services are increasingly being managed on risk-based management practices. The banks, their products, the regulations and the global market are becoming increasingly complex, driving ever greater challenges in effective risk management. A key lesson of the banking crisis of the last five years is that risks are highly integrated and to manage them efficiently banks have to understand these interactions.

Key features include:

• the explanation of the current risk-based regulations
• detailed review of the major risks faced by banks
• industry best practices for adopting an enterprise approach to integrating risk management across an entire organisation
• using governance techniques to build a group wide culture to ensure everyone takes an active role in managing risks in line with the banks strategic objectives
• what challenges could be faced by risk managers in the future.

The course will make extensive use of case studies designed to explore, examine and reinforce the concepts and ideas covered over the five days. Historical events at banks will be used throughout the course to highlight how they have failed to manage their risks and actions that could have been taken to prevent loss.

The ultimate goal of this program is to transform the audit process from a reactive "finding" exercise into a proactive "prevention" strategy. By mastering Root Cause Analysis, Internal Audit team will specifically target the elimination of recurrent findings. This ensures that once a weakness is identified, the recommendation provides a permanent fix, safeguarding company's operational efficiency and financial integrity.

Choosing not to implement structured RCA creates a high-risk environment:

• Financial Erosion: Unresolved root causes in financial processes lead to cumulative leakages that grow over time.
• Resource Wastage: Auditors spend 40% more time re-auditing the same failed controls instead of focusing on new strategic risks.
• Diminished Authority: Repeatedly reporting the same issues weakens the Audit Division's influence with senior management and auditees.

Course Objectives:

• This will be a one-day course and after the activity the trainees/participants will be able to:
  • Define what is a risk, its origin and impact on the business as manifested by their increase awareness on the topic.
  • Cite different instances that will be helpful for the organization to limit and, ideally eliminate risk.
  • Perform proper forecasting of risk and challenges in a proactive manner.
  • Discover numerous techniques to identify, mitigate and limit risk.
  • Collaborate with internal channels to strengthen risk management for the organization as a whole.

Overview:

The course introduces the discrete elements of a modern risk management process through the development of a Safety Management System (SMS). The course demonstrates how they can be used to manage risk within modern socio-technical systems. The establishment of an effective SMS is an increasingly popular methodology for the management of risk in complex and safety critical systems. The course will give candidates the ability of building and adapting safety and risk systems within their own area of expertise. The concept of SMS is not new but is increasingly being applied by regulation to more high-performance industries and accreditation schemes. The course uses high residual-risk industry SMS frameworks as benchmarks. The principles are explored by consultant practitioners using a combination of theory and extensive practical experience. The boundaries between other management systems, such as Quality and Environmental, will be discussed.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the foundations of safety management systems.
• Identify strategies to mitigate the impact of new and developing technologies by applying SMS principles.
• Develop the structure of their own Safety & Risk Management System against a benchmark.

Format of the Course:

• Facilitated and group discussion.
• Scenario based presentations, briefings and accident analysis.
• Break out scenario workshops and group presentation.

Audience:

• All Management Roles.
• Accountable Managers, Safety or Risk Post Holders.
