PRM02: Financial Market Risk Management

Description

Seminar Background

Risk Management should be everybody’s business, not just the CEO’s or the CFO’s!

Financial Risk Management is crucial in all businesses. During the recent crises, many companies suffered
irrecoverable blows due to the lack of a proper risk management process. As we move ahead, regulators here are requiring companies to implement means of measuring their financial risks (markto-market) and to be prudent, i.e., hedge their exposures (FRS 39). As a result, there is a need for companies to understand Financial Market Risk Management concepts and know-how, in order to measure, monitor and manage their risks. This seminar aims to raise the awareness on the importance of market risk management on a firm-wide basis and to equip attendees with requisite knowledge and foundational tools to make those key decisions.
