Risk Management for AFIA which administers the FIA with legal personality

Bucharest 20 March 2018 - 21 March 2018

Trainer: Paul Baranga, Iulian Lupu

Details

The course Risk management for AFIA administered internally or which administers the FIA with legal personality is addressed to persons who work in these entities on leading positions as risk management, internal assessors or to persons who want a career development in the field of risk management. The aim of this course is to acquire and to use skills of assessment and management of the financial risks to which a financial institution is exposed.
The course shows how financial risk assessment requirements set by the EU Regulation 231/2013 can be met by using techniques and methods of financial risk assessment presented in the standardised approach by the provisions of EU Regulation 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms. This is possible for the following reasons:
- Provisions of EU Regulation 231/2013 is the way in which prudential requirements in the banking sector have been extended to the shadow banking system (those entities in the non-banking financial system performing similar activities to the banking ones and that are inducing in the financial system risks similar to the ones induced by a credit institution);
- Categories of financial risks mentioned in the EU Regulation 231/2013 are similar to those presented in the EU Regulation 575/2013;
- Both credit institutions and investment firms are exposed, in the worst case scenario, to the risk of bankruptcy (because of the legal status);
- This approach has the advantage that it can easily compare the financial and prudential creditworthiness of a financial company with those of other financial entities using the methodology described in Regulation no. 575/2013 (credit institutions, investment services companies, central depositories, central counterparties, investment management companies);
- Law no. 74/2015 on alternative investment fund managers and the EU regulation no.231 / 2013 refers to a number of indicators set out in EU Regulation. 575/2013.
The course is divided in theoretical sessions and practical sessions. During the course, in the practical exercises, the lecturer will provide feedback.
