Bank Risk Management

Description

COURSE OVERVIEW
Financial institutions have been managing their risk from inception. But the nature of risks management is fundamentally changing within these institutions. This course is particularly well suited for risk management professionals who wish to up-skill themselves as well as those preparing for certification exams and wish to understand risk management in banking and financial markets in great detail.

You will be guided by the course leader, Prof. Elvis Cornerstone, a deep experienced practitioner with academic rigour, hence, your progress will be informed, focused and most importantly, enjoyable. In this recent banking and financial crisis and subsequent economic downturn, many financial institutions lost large amount of money and had to be taken over by government. Was this a failure of risk management? If yes, why? Answers are revealed on this course.
