Certified Operational Risk Management + exam PECB

Operational risk management for the financial services industry has evolved into a well-recognized, highly demanded discipline over the past 20 years. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) established mandatory capital requirements for operational risk in 2001, and the discipline has progressed and developed enormously since then. Besides holding capital, regulated entities need to adopt sound practices for the management of operational risk.

The objective of the training is to:

• understand the regulatory requirements and best practices of operational risk management in the financial services;
• learn how to establish and operate an operational risk management framework in the context of a financial organization;
• understand the approaches, methods, and tools to identify, assess, mitigate, and monitor operational risk in the financial services industry;
• understand core components of the course curriculum, including: ORM framework, regulatory context, risk appetite, risk assessment, incident data collection, key risk indicators, risk culture, scenario analysis, capital assessment, and reputation risk.
