INTRODUCTION

There is little doubt that, over the past four years, the profession of Financial Risk Management has grown considerably.  Banks have set up specialist risk divisions whose functions is not only to measure risk, but also to control it.  Value-at-Risk has an important role to play here.  Those who have sound grasp of its principles, and who understand the unique nature of derivative risk, are in a better position not only to trade properly, but also to avoid contributing to the huge losses that many major banks have suffered in the last few years.  Value- at-Risk is not only of interest to risk practitioners, but also to traders who want to trade profitably and, of course, to graduate and post-graduate students who want to become derivative traders, or who want to specialise in risk management.  The Futures and Options Association has also recommended that directors of major banks become actively involved in policies of risk management, rather than to delegate them, which is the current practice of many banks.  A good grasp of VaR is, therefore essential for this sector as well.

 

Why CFE-In-Practice are the best people to do it?

Understanding and Auditing VaR is designed for the practitioner (regardless of whether you are the Internal Auditor, Legal Manager, Risk Manager or Operations Manager.  Today, most practitioners recognise the importance of an interactive program, which encourages active as opposed to passive learning.  Understanding and Auditing VaR uses Case Studies to achieve this.  If you attend this Coaching Session, you will be guided towards setting up a simple but illustrative VaR system.  If you do not attend this program, you will simply not have the competitive advantage to survive with relative ease in the banking environment.  That is to say, understanding how VaR systems operate is critical to career and professional advancement.

 

A common compliant among practitioners is that, although there are many courses on VaR, few are accessible to non-academic.  As one participant's put it: "It seems as though all writers in risk management are academic professors trying to impress more senior academic professors."  In a practical world, many of the courses and seminars on VaR will loose the attention span of busy traders and practitioners who do not have a post-graduate degree in mathematics or statistics.  Clearly, there is a gap in the market for a personalised Coaching Session which sets out, in digestible blocks, what VaR is, its limitations, and how to apply it.  This is the reason why you need a Certified Fraud Examiner, the Practitioner, to teach practitioners.  CFEs are the people who have a really firm grip on the subject matter.

 

This is your opportunity to learn from the Practitioners!

This Coaching Session is designed to give participants a practical insight into VaR and what this latest risk management system is trying to achieve.  In the first half of the program, the concept of VaR is explained.  You will be introduced to the concepts of volatility, normal distribution, and correlation.  There are a number of practical but simple examples of each of these concepts.  By the end of each Coaching Session day, you will have an intuitive understanding of the basics of VaR in the following banking products:

  • Understanding VaR in Foreign Exchange - One day in Singapore**
