History has demonstrated that financial risks are treacherous. The 2008 financial sector crisis, in particular, produced a rich store of examples of companies which either misunderstood or underestimated their financial risks, with dire results. Understanding financial risk is essential for risk managers of all disciplines, because financial, operational, strategic, reputational, and other risks are all intertwined at the enterprise level.
This is a fundamentals course in which you will become familiar not only with the basic categories of financial risk and their associated terminology, but also how they interact, change, and escalate. Structurally, the course is divided into four financial risk categories – market, credit, liquidity and interconnected financial risks. The lessons will explain and give examples of each of these different types of financial risk, together with their measurement and risk mitigation methods. Your comprehension of the concepts, terminology, practices, and uses described in each lesson are assessed at the end of each lesson with an informal knowledge check.
During the course period of May 19 - June 8, 2020, you have the opportunity to ask the instructor questions and engage in online discussions with your peers.
