Finance and TreasuryBank Risk Management
A bank fails through its balance sheet, and almost always through a risk somebody had measured and nobody had acted on. This course covers the risk disciplines a bank runs on and how they connect. Delegates work through credit, market, liquidity, interest rate and operational risk, the measurement approach used for each, and the governance that turns a measurement into a decision. Capital adequacy and the regulatory framework are covered alongside stress testing and the risk appetite statement that is supposed to bind the board. Substantial attention goes to the failure pattern behind most banking losses, which is concentration nobody aggregated and a limit somebody kept approving exceptions to.
