Learners will explore key financial risks such as credit risk, market risk, operational risk, and liquidity risk, gaining insights into how these risks impact financial institutions and decision-making processes. Building on this foundation, the course introduces structured risk management frameworks, including governance models, the three lines of defense, and the importance of risk culture within organizations. Participants will learn how risks are identified, quantified, and modeled using industry-standard techniques such as Value at Risk (VaR), stress testing, and scenario analysis.

The course also covers essential risk mitigation strategies, including hedging, diversification, insurance, and risk transfer mechanisms. In addition, learners will gain a thorough understanding of the regulatory environment, including Basel Accords, global compliance standards, and post-financial crisis reforms.
