Risk, Compliance and AMLRisk Appetite, Tolerance and Key Risk Indicators
A risk appetite statement that nobody can measure is a document, not a management tool. This focused course teaches practitioners how to quantify risk appetite and tolerance, select meaningful key risk indicators and build dashboards that give boards and executives an early warning of drift beyond acceptable limits. Exercises use worked numerical examples rather than abstract theory.
