"Financial risk management and mastering the unknown: identifying and transforming risks into opportunities.
Table of contents
Introduction
Today, understanding risk management and governance is a critical part of any business, whatever its size. This is why risk management must be an integral part of corporate governance. Discover Sagora's financial risk management training course, designed for professionals wishing to master the essential tools and techniques for identifying, assessing and mitigating financial risks. Our short risk management training course aims to help participants become aware of the need to :
- define the level of risk the company is prepared to take,
- define your risk tolerance threshold,
- identify the different types of risk (credit, market, liquidity, operational and strategic) and their causes
- in order to implement appropriate risk management policies.
To this end, and on the basis of concrete cases, the emphasis is placed on the importance and necessity of involving all the company's staff (and sometimes also its customers and suppliers) in the detection, assessment and management of risk in order to enhance its efficiency and performance.
Public
This risk management training programme is aimed primarily at professionals from a variety of sectors who are responsible for identifying, assessing and mitigating risk within their organisation. This could include business leaders, risk managers, project managers or business analysts looking to improve their risk management skills to better manage the complexities of their roles. You work in sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, IT or government, where risk management is critical to operational success and regulatory compliance.
Whatever your initial training or current role, you share the same motivation: the need to protect your organisation and its reputation, improve decision-making processes and contribute to long-term sustainability and resilience.
