Financial risk management

Education facts

Code: NEAD35

The course focuses on methods for measuring and controlling risks in financial institutions such as banks and insurance companies. Deregulations of capital markets have increased the need for these organisations to develop their internal risk control. At the same time, periods of financial crises have highlighted the need for a new type of external regulation, including requirements for risk control techniques. Examples of risk control methods covered in the course include duration gap analysis, Value at Risk, and stress testing.
