World-Class Professional Risk Qualification
The iRSQ Qualification is a world-class certification establishing global competency standards in financial risk for bank professionals. The programme is informed by the lessons learned from current and past financial crises and is focused on assessing "real-life" risk decision-making. Through its Curriculum Advisory Council, it leverages on the thought leadership and practical experience of a broad base of risk practitioners and financial institutions to create the best-in-class qualification in Applied Risk Management for bank professionals.
The iRSQ:
- Emphasises real-life decision-making to ensure competence in practice, not just on paper
- Establishes an understanding of the broader context for risk management decisions vis-à-vis an institution’s overall business, financial and strategic objectives
- Extends beyond proficiency in risk analysis to establish a strong foundation in overall enterprise risk management
- Is informed by the lessons learnt from current and past financial crises
- Instills a sensitivity to the organisational and cultural pressures placed on bank professionals and raises awareness of the cognitive biases in risk decision-making to promote better risk judgment
- Stresses the ethical obligations of bank professionals to encourage proper conduct and responsibility
- Provides you with a qualification from an Awarding Body officially recognised by the UK regulator Ofqual, endorsed by the Financial Services Skills Council and supported by a large number of financial institutions
- Is designed and developed by industry practitioners
The iRSQ qualification is aimed at bank professionals who originate, manage or are exposed to financial risk or those who seek to enter such a profession. The programme is available globally. Institutional registrations are open now.
