Practical Risk Appetite and Risk Tolerance Masterclass

Separating risk appetite, risk tolerance and thresholds — and using each correctly — is the starting point of the masterclass. From there the cohort builds the appetite framework and its supporting governance, and sets metrics and trigger levels wired into the wider ERM framework, so a board statement becomes daily decisions.

It suits risk department leadership, credit, market, operational and liquidity risk teams, compliance risk teams and relationship managers. Because appetite statements are derived bottom-up from observed risks and controls, participants apply the model directly in their day-to-day roles, with clear ownership of appetite management.

Deliberately practical: the masterclass treats appetite as a working instrument rather than a filed statement. Participants establish key risk and control indicators from appetite metrics — including preventative indicators for specific banking activities — and design controls with intent through process mapping and control design.
