A technology and cyber risk assessment specific to your reserve operations

Who Should Attend

Why This Course Matters

Risk You Can See

Build a taxonomy and risk register that make operational exposure visible, not anecdotal.

Governance With Teeth

Install three lines of defence that actually hold, with clear ownership at each line.

Resilience by Design

Plan business continuity, cyber and settlement risk before an incident forces the plan.

Programme

Day 1

Operational risk taxonomy & risk registers

Build a taxonomy and risk register tailored to reserve management operations.

Day 2

Three lines of defence & governance structures

Day 3

Business continuity & operational resilience planning

Day 4

Technology, cyber and settlement risk in reserve operations

Day 5

Risk culture, board reporting & governance defence

Design and defend a risk-culture and board-reporting approach.

Standards & Faculty Benchmark

Basel Committee operational risk principles

Market, credit, operational and FRTB risk principles underpinning the risk-track courses.

COSO enterprise risk management framework

Referenced directly in this course's curriculum design.

Basel Committee operational risk principles and the COSO enterprise risk management framework are what your internal and external auditors already measure governance against.

Is This Right for You?

  • ☑Your work touches operational risk or internal audit
  • ☑Your governance structure needs sharper lines of defence
  • ☑You want frameworks aligned to Basel and COSO, not generic advice

Good to Know

Covers governance structure end to end, useful whether you set it or help implement it.

The Bottom Line

Make operational risk visible on your terms, in a board meeting, rather than visible on the market's terms, in a headline.

Recommended For
