About the course

Explore the impact and implementation of FRTB within financial institutions from the perspectives of model risk management, capital requirements and data management. 

This virtual event offers participants a technical and detailed understanding of the continuing journey of FRTB implementation, including practical examples for value-at-risk and expected shortfall calculations. Led by subject matter expert and faculty member Thomas Obitz, participants will discuss the progress of implementation globally and analyse concepts such as capital requirements and managing data under FRTB.

Dedicated sessions will explore key components and considerations of the SA and the sensitivities-based approach, emerging risk factors from the interbank offered rates transition impact, and the IMA and the trading book/ banking book boundary under FRTB, and will support delegates in applying FRTB principles at their own institutions.
