Module Breakdown

12 modules covering the entire risk identification lifecycle, from problem statement to regulatory compliance.

The problem statement. Why regulators keep finding the same gaps. Real-world examples from supervisory reviews and enforcement actions that show what happens when risk identification breaks down.
Roles, responsibilities, the Three Lines model, and front line unit accountability. How to structure ownership so the process actually runs and doesn't collapse into a compliance exercise.
External context (PESTLE), internal environment assessment, risk criteria, and risk appetite. Setting the starting universe so your identification process has a defensible scope.
SWIFT workshops, pre-workshop assessment, straw man seeding, multivoting, and facilitation techniques. How to run workshops that produce genuine risk intelligence rather than groupthink.
Horizon scanning, anonymous expert panels, and 3–5 year risk forecasting. How to systematically identify risks that haven't materialised yet but need to be on the radar.
Standardised templates, RCSA, Conduct Risk, ICT/Cyber, AML/CFT, Third-Party, and more. How to capture risks from business lines and specialist functions in a consistent, comparable format.
The reconciliation loop, gap analysis, and aggregate exposure assessment. How to merge top-down and bottom-up inputs into a single, coherent enterprise-level risk portfolio.
Impact, likelihood, vulnerability, and speed of onset. Multi-dimensional impact scoring and data quality ratings. How to move beyond a simple heatmap to an assessment framework you can defend.
Interaction matrices, concentration analysis, and the expanded bow-tie with escalation factors. Understanding how risks connect, compound, and cascade across the enterprise.
The 14-field inventory, one-page risk profiles, and KRIs. How to build documentation that is genuinely useful rather than a compliance artefact that sits in a drawer.
ICAAP/CCAR linkage, Board reporting, and regulatory submissions. How to connect risk identification outputs to the processes that matter most to the institution and its supervisors.
16 frameworks mapped, what each regulator expects, and how to demonstrate compliance. BCBS, PRA, EBA, ECB, Fed, OCC, and more — translated into practical requirements for your process.
