Edcomm Banker’s Academy Update Market Risk Training Program

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 12, 2011 -- New York, NY, January 12, 2011 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently updated its Market Risk training program. Introduction to Market Risk has been revised as part of Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s ongoing commitment to providing the most up-to-date and pertinent financial services information to the global financial industry.

It is important that the bank manages risk when handling all products, services, departments and customers. In order to effectively assess and reduce the risks that the bank is exposed to, employees must understand what types of risks exist and what can be considered a risk. By defining risks based on a series of categories, departments and transactions, employees can best understand how risk operates and, in turn, be better prepared to handle it.

Introduction to Market Risk, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, is an interactive training program that teaches employees the knowledge and skills they need to identify market risks to their bank and properly mitigate those risks. Students will learn about their responsibility in ensuring the integrity of risk management and overall controls within his/her area of the bank, and will become familiar with the greatest risks that the bank faces and how to measure market risk factors. Introduction to Market Risk also covers: The Risk Management Unit, Individual Responsibility, the Three Pillars of Basel II, and Basel II and Implications on Market Risk.
