Course overview

Operational Risk discipline has developed and moved a long way since its early years. With continued regulatory focus and catastrophic industry events, Operational Risk has become a crucial topic of the Senior Management’s agenda. 

Interactive, digital two half-day Operational Risk course will leave the delegates with a broad knowledge of how operational risk is defined and distinguished. Participants will gain an understanding of the fundamentals of operational risk in financial services, as well as focus on the core components of the Operational Risk Framework – Losses and Near Misses, Risk and Control Self-Assessments and Key Risk Indicators. Delegates will be also introduced to the challenging subject of Operational Risk Appetite.

Participants will review case studies of recent operational risk failures, practice identifying ‘Top Risks’, defining impactful Key Risk Indicators and developing a risk appetite statement.

The course, updated every year with latest developments and highly rated by participants, examines Operational Risk from a very practical perspective, focussing on implementing processes that add value to the workplace. It is also instrumental in helping the delegates understand key areas of regulatory focus in the UK and globally.
