About the course
This advanced course will give participants the opportunity to focus on the current issues facing operational risk management, from incorporating ESG into op risk frameworks to examining why risk control self assessments (RCSA) fail and how to derive value. It will aid risk professionals in adjusting practices to remain at the forefront of industry development and regulatory expectations.
The course have been structured to provide crucial knowledge and ample opportunity for group work and discussion to address emerging themes and benchmark solutions with peer firms.
The course is packed with practical information, and will end with a discussion in which attendees share the key takeaways that will impact decision-making and planning in their organisation.
Complimentary copy of the book - Operational risk management in financial services: A practical guide to establishing effective solutions - written by the tutor, Elena Pykhova, will be gifted to all participants of the course.
The book offers clear advice to risk practitioners on how to establish effective solutions and avoid common pitfalls. Filled with frameworks, examples and diagrams, this book represents the essential guide for professionals looking to derive value out of operational risk management, rather than applying a compliance ‘tick box’ approach.
