"I was delighted with the training received. My needs in this area were well met and my host and the firm’s learning facilities were top class. I am very satisfied with the final outcome."Operational Risk Officer, African Bank, UK
In March 2021, the Bank for International Settlements BCBS committee finalised their paper entitled Operational Resilience. This was a response to the crisis of 2020 and the impact that this had on so many banks.
Operational resilience seeks to ensure that banks will be able to provide critical services and functions during crisis. Whilst the pandemic of 2020-21 was one crisis, the next one could be completely different.
Banks need to implement systems and structures to enable them to understand the likely impact of an event on their ability to deliver critical services when an event occurs including fully appreciating the dependencies and interconnections which inhibit their implementation.
During this course delegates will systematically explore each of the requirements to enable them to consider the actions that they would need to take in practice in their own organisations.
"It is a very good course in terms of risk/control framework and with useful information sharing. Very organized and comprehensive."Risk Manager, National Bank of Greece, Cyprus
