Course Description

The changes in the business environment require functioning systems for the limitation and targeted control of each institution's risk profile to ensure it goes in total consistency with the firm risk appetite. Furthermore and instead of solely focusing only on maximizing revenue, financial institutions are increasingly adopting risk-adjusted return in strategic planning and budgeting, Value-at-Risk (VaR) is a measure of risk that is consistent across risk types and quantifies potential loss at a certain confidence level, over a certain period.

In addition to explaining methods for calculating VaR, this training course is designed to clarify VaR computational appeal as well as to provide participants with tools & techniques on how VaR outputs are used. By utilizing these measures at different levels of reporting/aggregation, VaR provides a holistic approach to a well-functioning risk control system through showing total firm-wide risk and summary of risk concentration among different business units, asset classes and countries.

Course Objectives

  • Mastering the "value-at-risk" conceptual framework 
  • Providing simple & practical methods for calculating VaR quickly, efficiently & accurately
