Training in Risk Management
|
In an increasingly complex and interdependent world
of financial markets, products and regulations, efficient
risk management is a crucial element, which
can determine the fate of a company. To offer a solid
framework for training in risk management, IFBL and
PRiM renewed and extended their former collaboration
by signing a partnership agreement in June
2008.
On the basis of this partnership agreement, IFBL and
PRiM jointly developed a complete training programme
based on the principles of modular course units, tests
and the validation of professional knowledge. The offer
is designed for different types of audiences ranging
from beginners to practitioners specializing in the field
of risk management. The culmination of the training
programme is a high-calibre seminar with the internationally
renowned Prof. Philippe Jorion to prepare
students for the FRM® Exam administered by GARP
(Global Association of Risk Professionals) disclaimer.

Measuring and Managing Market Risk |

While giving a complete overview of the different
aspects related to market risks, this module
also provides essential knowledge to those
who wish to participate in any further training
courses on risk management. As the approach is a qualitative one, the focus
is on mechanisms and practical applications,
rather than on financial mathematics and
formulas. The course is of interest not only to
employees of risk management departments,
but also to people working in other positions,
such as controllers, accountants, compliance
officers, legal staff, auditors, back and middle
office employees, traders as well as client advisers
and portfolio managers. |
