Course Overview

The course offers a balanced approach with both content lectures and the review of a banking case study, allowing participants to immediately apply their knowledge.

Attendees will deepen their understanding of the subject through a blend of lectures and case study analysis, designed to simulate both offsite and onsite risk assessment activities. Lectures will cover credit, operations, and market/liquidity risks, each providing an overview of the processes and techniques used to assess inherent risk, risk management, residual risk, and the potential future micro and macroeconomic impacts on a bank’s risk profile.

Participants will identify and prioritize areas of risk, evaluate risk management processes, and develop a written risk assessment that highlights strengths and weaknesses in each functional area and assesses the overall risk of the institution.

Course Objectives

  • Be familiar with the skills and responsibilities regarding riskfocused supervision principles.
  • Understand processes for identifying and measuring inherent risk for critical risk areas.
  • Be capable of analyzing appropriate information from bankers to develop a final institutional risk profile and identify material findings of supervisory concern.

Participant Profile

The Risk-Focused Supervision and Risk Assessment course is designed for financial institution supervisory staff with three to five years of experience in bank examination, inspection and/or risk assessment.
