Course Level

This unique training workshop addresses the fundamental causes of risk and provides the delegate with a simple, systematic control and management programme to achieve control.

The problem of risk

Risk cannot be eliminated from the trading, processing and control cycle, for without risk there can be no profit. It follows that those companies that can most effectively control risk will be the most successful. Operational risk is present in many different forms and small problems can quickly escalate into major losses if not prevented at source. Any effective control system must therefore be preventive as well as reactive and must cover all areas of the company's operations.

The systematic approach

The control process must be part of a co-ordinated risk control strategy, centrally managed and operated by highly experienced and skilled operatives. Recent experience has shown that expensive and highly complex technical risk detection and quantification systems have not, in themselves, prevented the huge losses that have occurred. In some respects they have tended to over complicate and cloud the basic issues involved. There is no substitute for a highly experienced and well motivated work force and those that ignore this do so at their peril. In fact, the solution to this problem is far easier than is supposed .

A simple analysis of why difficulties have occurred lead us to the conclusion that the same, basic, generic cause elements were present in each case and detection and prevention could have been very easily achieved.
