An integrated perspective on risk governance and long-term value creation

A major lesson of the global crisis is the imperative need for sound and comprehensive risk governance. Board members and senior executives of banks need to have an integrated view of risk control and value creation. They must be clear on how risk categories interact and impact economic capital allocation and the value of the business; and assess how re-regulation and, Basel 3, will impact the banking industry. In fact, any senior executive working in a business exposed to market, credit, operational or strategic risk, or to the growing concerns of liquidity, reputation and franchise risk should have a knowledge-based overview of risk management. 

The Risk Management in Banking programme gives you a broad overview of risk governance. Whatever your background, you will benefit from the inclusive, non-technical approach, and feel comfortable learning within an environment more similar to that of a professional workshop. 

Key Benefits

• Draw lessons from the economic downturn as they relate to liquidity risks, fund transfer pricing, the future of capital regulation and performance–related pay

The Risk Management in Banking programme draws on more than 25 years of research organised by the Centre of International Financial Services, a partnership launched in 1987 between selected financial institutions and INSEAD. The programme uses lectures, discussion and work group to develop participants’ risk management skills in the following areas:

1. Risk governance
2. Credit risk
3. Liquidity and market risks
4. Operational risk

The ALCO Challenge

The ALCO Challenge is a computer simulation designed at INSEAD. It recreates an international banking environment, allowing participants to perfect their skills in value creation and risk control. Participants perform the simulation in teams, each team forming an Asset-Liability Committee. The ALCO Challenge incorporates the latest financial techniques in profitability and risk management. It is entirely accurate, taking into account the effects of taxation and BIS capital regulations.

Since this programme is aimed an a holistic view of risk control in financial services firms, the target audience is general managers or board members concerned with risk governance and their overall management, and senior managers in various functional areas who need to inform themselves about the process of risk control. The course is not intended for specialist risk managers.

“The scope of the programme is appealing, and it covers most of the hot issues. This experience at INSEAD is an important building block in general banking education.”

“This programme gives a good overview and insight on asset liability management and risk definitions. On the practical side, I very much appreciated the ALCO challenge simulation.”
