Risk management education and training for the banking industry



A key lesson of the current economic and financial crisis is that the role of risk management within banks must be reinforced. The natural reaction of the banking industry, hard-hit by unforeseen extreme losses, is either to minimize the role of risk management or, to make the situation worse by repeating the same errors as before.

Risk management can only succeed by increasing risk management education within banks not just to risk managers but to a much wider and senior audience.

Do you really know how vulnerable your bank or organization is to;

  • Corruption and bribery?
  • Theft of physical assets or stock?
  • Money laundering?
  • Financial mismanagement?
  • Regulatory or compliance breach?
  • Internal financial fraud or theft?
  • Information theft, loss or attack?
  • Vendor, supplier or procurement fraud?
  • IP theft, piracy or counterfeiting?
  • Management conflict of interest?
