Risk management - introduction

Who should attend?
This course will be of particular benefit to compliance officers and to administration and operations staff in  the financial services industry, who need to understand the principles and significance of risk management and control, without analysing market risk or portfolio sensitivity in detail. It will also be very helpful to managers within financial services companies, and to their financial advisers.

What you will gain
This one-day course aims to explain the legal and compliance background to risk management, before considering in a non-mathematical way the core principles and processes of managing risk. Case studies will be used throughout and the emphasis of the course is on developing a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
