The objective of the course is to get the students acquainted with individual financial risks and practical methods of risk measuring and management (e.g. expected and unexpected loss, Value at Risk method, including the method of risk calculation, differences in using them for various types of risks and interpretation of results, use of rating and scoring methods, LDA and RCSA methods etc.). Students will also learn about issues of the application of statistical methods used in practice in the process of risk measuring. The course will also include the description of operations of banks, insurance companies and corporations from the point of risk management and description of regulatory requirements of Basel II/III and Solvency II.
