The courses, run in conjunction with BSA Associate King & Shaxson, will be repeated throughout the year and places for each course are to be booked individually via the booking form on the relevant event page:

The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the financial and balance sheet risks a building society faces as a consequence of being a mortgage lender.

We will consider all key risks including liquidity, interest rate risk, credit risk and operational risks, and the regulation and governance that goes with it. We will also examine the role of board governance and the relevant committees, especially the Asset and Liabilities Committee. 

Aimed at:
