About the course

Since the 2021 Archegos collapse, the need for robust counterparty risk management has become increasingly clear. This course offers a comprehensive examination of counterparty risk, with an emphasis on the SA-CCR.

Participants will delve into the application of the SA-CCR, examining its limitations and impact on key financial instruments. The training will highlight best practices for mitigating counterparty credit risk, including detailed discussions on IM and WWR.

Expert practitioners will guide the group through case studies and practical examples, illustrating effective strategies for integrating counterparty risk into existing risk management frameworks. By the end of the course, attendees will be equipped to ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements and improve their firm’s risk management practices.
