The idea of this elective is to build a bridge to practical risk management. The Frankfurt Institute for Risk Management and Regulation (FIRM) uses its expertise as the leading network for risk managers in Germany. Executives from banks and consultancies will provide an overview of current topics in risk management. We explain which issues risk management units are currently working on in practice and which regulatory requirements are affecting the market. We will cover key financial and non-financial risk topics and provide practical examples of how we are addressing the challenges. The program will also include a deep dive into current trends, such as cyber and geopolitics.
