Course Overview

Regulators no longer accept intent as evidence of control over settlement risk in clearing. In finance the difference between a healthy position on risk in clearing and a dangerous one is often a single assumption. Mature organisations treat the financial and banking practice discipline as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Plans for settlement risk in clearing often fail at the handover point between functions. It suits anyone whose decisions touch this aspect of financial and banking practice, in large organisations and small ones alike. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of risk in clearing rather than to abstract argument. The course gives participants a defensible structure for settlement risk in clearing and the judgement to adapt it. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to risk in clearing in an order their organisation can absorb. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this strand of financial and banking practice ready to put in front of a decision maker.
