Financial Analysis and Risk Management for Microfinance Practitioners
Managing risk is an inherent component of delivering financial services. This course covers critical issues of financial analysis and risk management within a dynamic and interactive environment. The course uses both theory and practices of financial analysis and risk management in-line with standards and sector specific global best practices.
This seven-day course is designed to help MFIs to develop and improve the quality of their own risk management processes. The focus is on problem prevention, early detection, and control. The participants will get the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills, and tools they require not only to support their respective areas or functions in implementing effective operational risk management but also for integrating risk management with disciplines including monitoring and compliance. It will also position the participants to become vital agents in improving risk-based thinking, supporting a positive risk culture and enabling their organisations to view risk as an opportunity.
The course does this by combining practical knowledge and application of risk management tools with a variety of techniques to identify vulnerabilities, design and implement controls and monitor the effectiveness of controls with special focus on operational risks to avert financial risks as well. On completion of this course, the participants will have a solid understanding of how advanced risk management can benefit the MFIs to ensure sustainable growth in their future operations. .
