Risk Management for Central Banks 2021 | Infopro Digital Risk | 15 March 2021 | Virtual

Covid-19 has reshaped central bank risk management: forcing central bankers to rethink the risks they face and, ultimately, have to manage.

It has challenged them to work in new ways – and to manage the new risks resulting from this.

It has highlighted new areas of interconnectedness – and disconnects.

It has strained well-thought-through contingency plans.

For those charged with managing risks in a central bank, the crisis has shown the importance of a robust yet flexible framework for managing the wide range of risks they face: from managing conduct risk and the human element, to reputational risk, to cyber and IT risks.

This course, “Risk Management for Central Banks” will give participants an understanding of the tools and methodologies used to create sound a risk management framework. Expert speakers will demonstrate how to turn theory and lessons from other sectors into central banking practice in monitoring and mitigating risks. From an institutional perspective, the course shows how to build and leverage an effective relationship between risk, internal audit and compliance.

Each day will feature three hours of expert-led live content to maximise the opportunity to share and learn. The Course chair will ensure participants have opportunities to network throughout the programme.
