Since 2005,  I have trained thousands of participants working in the financial sector. My contribution is to make complex finance accessible to my course participants: finance is not rocket science. This course targets to grow your understanding of the business model of banks to support your career in the banking industry. Course completion can also benefit professionals that work in other financial institutions, such as pension funds, insurance companies and investment firms. Since risk management is also the essential expertise of the Asset & Liability committee (ALCO), this course also is an introduction to Asset & Liability Management (ALM). Understand financial risks from banking will address following topics.In the first section, you are introduced to the bank core activities: payments, intermediation and proprietary trading. This introduction prepares you to continue to the main topic of this course, the financial risks of transformation. Transformation is the most important core activity of large commercial banks. After explaining transformation, you will learn about the management of the 3 most important financial risk exposures: liquidity risk, interest rate risk and credit risk.
