Objectives
Business decisions are based on significant business uncertainty and risk. The aim of teaching the subject is that students get to know the basic concept of risk management. What types of risks do companies and financial instituti-ons face. Risk management, and more broadly, how responsible corporate governance can effectively manage these, thereby increasing the value of the organization. Students will get an idea of the basic methods and best practices of risk management, with emphasis on value at risk; expected shortfall; stress test and scenario analysis. Market risks are presented through option and bond pricing models (what risks these financial instruments are sensitive to). We describe the credit risk and its two components: expected and unexpected loss. We also cover operational and sovere-ign risks. In developing the topic, we made great efforts to cover the first and fourth topics of the international FRM (Financial Risk Manager) exam (Foundations of Risk Management; Valuation and Risk Models). In the course of education, we keep in mind the objective that, as a result of the learning process, the student should be able to apply the acquired theory in practice.
