When I started handling Risk Management, I first took on its Disaster Recovery and Info Security aspects as an MIS manager. Later, I branched out into Business Continuity Planning as well. With my current role taking on Corporate Governance and Compliance as well, it helped that I was exposed in most parts to the practical application of these concepts. Needless to say though, am still looking out for an omnibus training that encompasses the totality of Risk Management. Appreciate then recommendations from the members. Thanks!

  • Hi Maynardo,

    It has been more than 7 years now since you opened this discussion and I just stumbled on it again.

    As promised we created different learning opportunities for our members to study risk management online and they are very affordably for an average "third-wolder" as you put it.

    1. Global Risk Academy - http://www.globalriskacademy.com is our crowdsourced site currently containing more than 25 courses provided by some of our members - world's top professional in their fields.

    2.A complete suite of courses http://bit.ly/grisklearning containing more than 700 online courses and certification exams preparations.  

    Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these options.

  • Hi Maynardo,

    I am not sure which industry you are working in, but looks like the company does have various aspects of risk management units. My suggestion would be that you suggest to the CRO/ CAE that tranings are required for the orgnaization as a whole, and different levels are required for different resources. I think if basic training is not being provided by the organization then that is a significant deficit in risk management strategy. I had written a post some time back on Risk management training in respect to Maslows four levels of learning on my blog. It might interest you. http://soniajaspal.wordpress.com
  • Maynardo,

    We offer all of the risk training programs from basic to advanced covering the risk spectrum. We are finding many institutions returning to the basic fundamentals and rebuilding a risk training curriculum for their staff and they are including relationship managers who need the basics of risk management. However, we do not offer open courses in the market. Our courses or curriculum are usually for a specific bank or financial institution where the programs can be adapted and customized to meet their particular needs depending on the country and local markets. Please feel free to contact me for more information at kl@lobo-global-advisors.com.

    Regards,
    Ken
  • You are correct and although I am a member I have not looked into this in any detail. Because of the latter and not knowing your formal qualifications or your experience I can not offer any advice on your chances of obtaining it through the scheme.

    I am not certain but I believe the CRISC exam will be based primarily on the proposed COBIT version 5 risk management process when the exam is launced (2011) you will still need recognised risk qualifications and risk experience to be certified.

  • Hi Boris,

    Something fundamental to build up my credentials as a risk manager, i guess.

    Hi Maynardo,

If risk management is about decision making, are current risk management solutions irrelevant?

Now that the updated COSO and ISO risk management standards emphasize a connection to enterprise objectives and decision making, does this mean ERM and GRC solutions focused on risk registers and regulatory compliance are missing the true value of risk management?Will current risk management solutions evolve to integrate more decision support functionality or will standalone prescriptive analytics and other technology solutions take a more prominent role in enabling risk-informed…

A question related to classification of instruments between trading and banking book.

We have an interesting question from one of our members.       "We usually perform OTC FX transactions with clients backed-to-back on the market (with Banks). Now we are going to perform a FX swap (i.e. Spot + forward) JPY/EUR for the Bank account for 1 week at the longest. The purpose is to get EUR place @ CB for LCR compliance purpose (no trading purposes). Bank's Management think that this should be considered as a trading position and therefore be classified within the Bank's trading book.…

Plunging oil prices: curse or blessing in disguise?

The recent sudden crash of oil prices has had a major impact on the world economy, leading to many troubled faces in the international arena. The Russians fear the effects of yet another powerful hit on their economy, Venezuela seems to be considering default and the Americans are weary of the consequences for its young and emerging shale oil industry. And then you have the Middle East, where the smallest match is enough to ignite the largest fire. But are these worries really justified or…
