Certificate In Banking
This certificate program provides experienced or entry-level business professionals with a specialized, technical overview of banking risk management from an institutional and community-based perspective. Banking operations incorporate a diverse range of activities which contribute to the asset/liability profile of a well-governed, fully-insured financial institution. Given the vast jurisprudential and quantitative banking changes in the post-crisis age, our focus is to deliberately outline the liquidity and risk management strategies vital for sustainable finance. The first two courses of the certificate can be taken concurrently. Each course spans seven weeks. At the conclusion of the certificate, participants will be tasked to compile, analyze, and furnish a comprehensive regulatory report on either a community or multinational bank of a pre-approved capstone list.
