With increasing regulatory focus on the safety and soundness of Credit Unions, it is crucial that you understand the regulator’s risk appetite expectations, particularly as they change as your credit union grows. Risk appetite remains one of the risk ‘holy grails’ and it is important that credit unions implement the requirements in a way that is meaningful to their business and not just treat it as a compliance exercise.


This online course will first consider why risk appetite is important and then explore the regulator’s role in supervising credit unions before detailing the Prudential Regulation Authorities appetite expectations. We will also consider potential cliff effects and how you might apply risk appetite and risk tolerance to your credit union.
 
With the regulator flagging the consequences of poor risk management and/or governance as potentially insolvent wind-up, solvent wind-down, or the transfer of engagements to another credit union, this is an important time for credit unions to ensure they have an effective and efficient risk appetite. A risk appetite that meets regulatory expectations is an important indicator of good risk management.

Attending the course will enable participants to understand the role of the regulator, the PRA’s risk appetite expectations, how risk appetite and risk tolerance can be defined, the cliff effects involved in meeting regulatory expectations and how to manage them.

"Andrew delivered this brilliantly. I have learnt a lot and more importantly pointed me into areas where my knowledge may be lacking."

"The trainer was engaging throughout, I came away with some valuable knowledge."

"Well organised and delivered as well as very informative, allowing me to take away potential learning opportunities and add value to the board."
