FAQ

What specific qualifications or prerequisites are needed for participants before enrolling in the course?

Participants should have a foundational understanding of risk management principles or practical experience within financial institutions.

How long is each day's session, and is there a total number of hours required for the entire course?

Each day's session lasts approximately 4 to 5 hours, totaling 20 to 25 hours over the five-day course.

What's the difference between operational risk and enterprise risk management (ERM)?

Operational risk specifically involves risks arising from inadequate internal processes, people, systems, or external events, while ERM encompasses a broader spectrum including strategic, market, and credit risks.

How This Course Compares

This programme delivers direct application of operational risk frameworks specifically structured for financial institutions. Rather than presenting generic risk concepts, the syllabus concentrates on technical execution across loss data gathering, key risk indicator calibration, scenario analysis, and capital requirement models. Participants work with institutional assessment methods and governance templates that translate regulatory guidance into operational execution.
