In the evolving financial environment, Banks & Financial Services Industries (BFSI) is exposed to different types of risks. The management of risk has become very important matter of concern for efficient use of Capital across business lines and, also for strengthening the soundness and stability of the banking system and efficient use of Capital across business lines. The building blocks for management of risks are broadly divided into:
· Risk Identification
· Risk Measurement
· Risk Pricing
· Risk Monitoring and control
· Risk Mitigation
The implementation of Basel II and Basel III accord provide capital cushion against the unexpected losses is the major challenge for the Banks.
Introduction
Banking Risk in most simple term is defined as the potential loss on account of Credit Risk, Operational Risk and Market Risk. Credit risk is the largest element of risk in the books of most banks and financial institutions. The goal of credit risk management is to maximize a bank’s risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Credit risk models are the tools that assist banks in quantifying, aggregating and managing risk across geographical and product lines. Besides, Operational Risk captures the loss on account of people, process, system and external events. The recent scam in Punjab National Bank has exposed the severity of loss on account of Operational Risk. The potential loss in trading book of the Bank manifests Market Risk.
Objective
The objective of the course is to familiarize the students with the conceptual foundations and data requirements and the underlying mathematical models pertaining to the calculation of expected credit loss for provision and minimum capital requirements in terms of unexpected credit loss for credit under Basel Standardized and Basel IRB approach. The course is intended to discuss on Operational Risk using Basic Indicator and Advance Measurement Approach. Modeling approach will be used to discuss Market Risk.
The course has also been designed to provide with the knowledge and skills needed to understand the new Basel III framework and to work in Basel III Projects.
The purpose of this course is to give the students a thorough understanding of state-of-the-art tools and techniques for measuring and managing Banking Risk.

Code of Ethics
During quizzes/End term, it is unethical to seek any direct help from others, whether or not you finally make use of the help. Cross / side talking in class-room is completely forbidden. Due weightage will be given on attendance. Cell Phone, in class room, will be in silent mode.
Feedback I would also request you to give me continuous feedback. I would be in the class room for some more time after the class to take up your doubts and feedback. You may form a “focus group” (consisting of 6-7 students from the class with diverse backgrounds including the CR) that continuously interacts with the students and informs me about their problems, if any, with the course.
