Basel II and Risk Management Training Course

This is a standard five-day course concentrating on the key issues that arise from the Basel Accord and the practical solutions that can be applied. If credit issues are to be considered in depth then a longer course is required. On balance the course is intended to take one day for credit risk, one day for trading book issues and three days for operational risk/risk management.


BASEL II AND RISK MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSE
DURATION 5 DAYS

With the finalisation of the Basel Accord there has been an increased focus on operational risk. The BIS have now affirmed the delivery date of the rules for credit and trading book issues and for operational risk for the standardised and basic indicator approaches. They have only delayed the more advanced approach by a year. This means that for the majority of institutions the date is now set and they need to move forward with a degree of urgency.

Learning Objectives

The learning objectives are to ensure that the audience fully understand all of the requirements in respect of the Accord. The types of options available and solutions provided will be discussed and approaches recommended. We also link the risks set out in the Accord to risk management and explain where regulatory capital ends and where economic capital starts. This is explained throughout the course.

  • Head of Risk Management
