Operational risk registers accumulate; risk itself moves in networks. This programme explains the components of modern operational risk management as practised in global and regional banks — starting from the basics of risk within banking, tracking fifteen years of development, and covering identification, handling, measurement and reporting. It draws best practice from the relevant types of financial institution and works through governance and regulatory requirements: framework and taxonomy, six steps to define and design preventive KRIs, root-cause analysis done properly, conduct reporting, third-party vendor risk, cyber threats, continuity planning resources and the identification of emerging, interrelated risks. Participants leave with actionable ideas, innovations and plans grounded in the daily work of financial institutions.

Frequently asked
Will these programmes prepare our team for supervisory review?
That is what they are built for. Casework is structured around the evidence supervisors request — risk-appetite articulation, documentation, attestation — and participants leave able to assemble the evidence trail before it is asked for and defend the framework in examination. Faculty include practitioners who have sat on the supervisor’s side of the table.
Which risk frameworks does the curriculum cover?
The risk and compliance curriculum spans enterprise risk management on the COSO framework, credit, market, liquidity and operational risk, IFRS 9 provisioning, stress testing, and financial-crime disciplines including fraud detection and AML/CFT. Each programme page states the frames it works in and what participants will build with them.
Can we attend in French?
Yes. BIZENIUS delivers in English and French, in classroom, live virtual and hybrid formats. French-language cohorts serve institutions across BCEAO jurisdictions and other francophone markets.
What happens after we enquire about a programme?
A senior practitioner replies within one business day with the brochure attached. The conversation then covers dates, format, any tailoring your institution needs, and the fee — BIZENIUS shares fees in that proposal, not on a public price list.
