Overview

As banks strive for value creation in a highly competitive environment, they inevitably create risks. The greatest threat to a financial institution is when such risks are not properly identified, measured or managed. In these circumstances the result is invariably unexpected losses which, as the financial crisis demonstrates, can threaten the very existence of banks of all sizes.

 

The regulatory response to recent events is contained in Basel III which sets out to make capital requirements more risk-sensitive, enhance risk coverage and strengthen the loss absorbency of available capital. It introduces the concept of building capital buffers during good times so that banks are better positioned to absorb the losses that occur during periods of stress. Basel III further introduces new liquidity management standards.

 

By the end of this course participants will have a detailed understanding of the nature of liquidity risk.  They will be able to assess its impact upon the trading and non-trading operations of financial institutions and will possess knowledge of the range of activities and actions that are available to measure, manage and control liquidity risk within financial institutions.

 

Delegates will also gain a better understanding as to what it really means for an institution to be under stress and what has caused institutions to fail before.  The course will consider how this fits within the Basel II framework and also what actions should have been taken to prevent such failures from having occurred.

Who Should Attend

Risk management, finance, audit and compliance staff and management involved in developing or reviewing approaches to risk management, capital management, risk adjusted performance measures, and the ICAAP.
