Risk Management in Banking

An integrated perspective on risk governance and long-term value creation

The global financial crisis underlined the importance of sound and comprehensive risk governance. Board members and senior executives of banks need to be clear on how risk categories impact capital allocation and value. The Risk Management in Banking programme provides an overview of risk governance and long-term value creation in light of new regulations, Basel 3 and special resolution regimes with bail-in debt. This working knowledge is essential for senior executives in any business exposed to market, credit, operational or strategic risk – or to the growing concerns of liquidity, reputation and franchise risk.
