PRMIA Announces Complete Course in Risk Management
To meet the demands of risk professionals by bridging the gap between theory and practice in financial risk management, PRMIA, in conjunction with two of its University Partners - Columbia Business School Executive Education and George Washington University School of Business - is once again offering a Complete Course in Risk Management.
This 20-week course will be held at each of these two business schools beginning in January 2010. Participants may register for the complete course or may choose individual course modules that best fit their needs.
Beginning with the essential elements of finance, risk measurement, markets and financial instruments, students are then introduced to the best practices of market, credit and operational risk management. The final sessions focus on integrating the knowledge gained into a capital allocation framework and study of governance best practices and some famous case studies of where things went wrong.
