Course Overview

The audit trail behind investment banking risk coverage matters as much as the decision itself. Growth built on poorly controlled risk coverage reverses faster than it accumulated. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the financial and banking practice discipline and supervised application. Participants who influence investment banking risk coverage without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. The course sets out a working method for this strand of financial and banking practice that participants can apply the week they return. The most reliable predictor of sound risk coverage is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of investment banking risk coverage to standardise and which to leave flexible. Moving risk coverage from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the financial and banking practice capability that participants can repeat annually.
