These workshops offer the opportunity to experience risk management processes by building them. Examples include counterparty credit risk estimation, FAMA-French factor models, bank default modeling, risk management infrastructure at a lending company, the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB), Comprehensive Capital Assessment and Review (CCAR). These major concepts are as much about their implementation as they are about their theoretical description; and organizations gain competitive advantage by effectively implementing these concepts. As a professional, a first step to adding value to this work at an organization is knowing how to build a simple version in a day.
