Event Date 17 – 18 June, Location – Brussels, Belgium
MASTERCLASS OVERVIEW
Operational Risk is “the risk of loss (or gain) resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events”. If Operational Risks are not well managed, both the financial, as well as the reputational, consequences can have a devastating impact on the company, resulting in bankruptcy.
The financial crisis made this all the more clear as most financial institutions needed government support to survive. As a result the last (two) decade(s) showed an ever increasing number of laws and regulation applicable to financial institutions, reinforcing regulatory control. To keep up and comply with all these asks considerable effort by the financial institutions and its staff. This training is intended to give the participants a better insight in how to integrally manage Operational Risks as part of a wider Enterprise Risk Management framework.
