SLG Advanced Risk Management | Risk Calculation 2021 - Vienna | Schwabe, Ley & Greiner | 7 September 2021 | Vienna/Online Event

Professional risk management is important and can be implemented for both large and medium-sized companies, regardless of their size. The seminar deals with how to determine the positions for financial risks and how to represent and interpret risks from them. The next step is to decide whether and how risks are to be secured. Modern methods for “smart” and efficient security can be used. Meaningful reporting rounds off the risk management.

Main topics:

Which data in the company can be used to determine the exposure?
Which positions (posted, IC etc.) are
relevant for the exposure determination for currency and interest rate risk?
How do price lists and project business affect risk exposure?

What can a sensitivity analysis do, and what can a value-at-risk?
What is the difference between value-at-risk and cash-flow-at-risk?

• Strategy

How do different backup strategies affect the risk?
How can you optimize risks and secure them “smartly”?
