Operational Risk in Finance

As the past few decades have shown, operational disruptions in the financial sector are inevitable. A disruption could be caused by a key IT system outage, extreme weather conditions, or any number of unforeseen events, and whatever the cause, disruptions tend to strike at the most inopportune times.

Operational resilience is the ability of firms and the wider financial sector to prevent, adapt to, respond to, recover from, and learn from these disruptions.

This course gives you a practical understanding of what operational resilience means and why it matters, exploring the key disciplines that support it: business continuity, incident management, and the regulations that underpin these activities.
