This seminar investigates modern issues in risk management faced by finance professionals (including Chief Risk Officers, Risk Managers, Treasurers, CFOs, Board Directors, and others) in corporations and financial institutions including banks, hedge funds and investment houses. Areas investigated include: Market Risk, Credit Risk, Operational Risk, Risk Architecture, and risk-related topics such as RAROC and Capital Allocation.
