Course Introduction
Around the world financial institutions are beginning their implementation of the "International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards", also known as Basel II, the core question for bank operations must be "what do I have to do about operational risk?"This comprehensive three day hands-on "Basel II and Operational Risk" course will prepare you to comply with the Basel II Operational Risk Requirements.
Why you should attend
The operational risk requirements of Basel II place a heavy emphasis on the identification, assessment, monitoring and control of operational risk. The ultimate requirement for reserving capital against operational losses are closely linked to the actions that a bank needs to take to manage these risks.Keeping a banks capital allocation against Operational Risks is a hands-on business, based on controlling and mitigating risk.
Credit risk is well catered for in exceptional detail. Credit risks are clearly understood by all players, for credit is the reason why banks exist. In the mad scramble to meet the requirements, we suspect that credit risks will get the lion's share of attention while little attention will be given to the operational risk issues. Up to now much ink has flowed on theory, mathematical models and conjecture. Now for the first time, banks have to roll up their collective sleeves and get their hands dirty on operational risk aspects. Basel II is more than just reserving capital against credit and operational risk.
To start with, Basel II provides a range of options for determining the capital requirements of credit and operational risks. This allows banks and bank supervisors the opportunity to select the most appropriate option for their operations and their financial market infrastructure. Additionally, allowance is made for a limited degree of national discretion in the way in which each of these options may be applied.
Based on the Basel II requirements, this course succinctly summarises what needs to be done to effectively implement the operational risk aspects of this important international standard.
