The global credit crisis underlined the inefficiency of traditional risk management methodologies. Basel III clearly recommends Stress Tests and their impact in Systemic Risk analysis as integral to both internal risk management functions as well as meeting regulatory requirements.

This two day workshop will provide a unified view of the main input elements of financial analysis – i.e. Market, Credit / Counterparty and Behavioral Risks- how they are linked by financial contract, and how they generate financial events that can be forecast by Liquidity, Value and Income analysis. Based on these elements of analysis Stress Test Risk Scenarios and Systemic Risk Management will be addressed in detail.

The classes will include several exercises based on real case studies of emerging markets and extensive Q&A sessions to proof the usage of every challenge and approach that is presented. At the end of the program, attendees will have a clear understanding of building a transparent, unified financial analysis for approaching systemic risk and stress testing systems that enables comprehension of risk, management-analyst discourse and preemptive action.
