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.

Objectives

The objective of this course is to help bank management deliver an appropriate integrated strategy for managing the complex and changing risks and regulations in today’s international banking environment. Specifically this course aims to give senior level management an understanding of:

• major risk within the financial industry and the major international risk regulations
• how to manage a bank’s assets and liabilities whilst maximising return
• the interaction between risk types and how banks use an integrated approach for their management
• corporate governance and the best practice approaches to managing the diverse interests of the stakeholders
• how to develop a culture of risk governance as a tool for minimising unnecessary risk taking

Who should attend this seminar

This course is intended those who are new to integrated risk management, senior management responsible strategic risk management, or those who wish to further their understanding of enterprise risk management. It will be of use to:

• Board level bank management

• Senior risk managers and analysts

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.
