Additionally, the course covers the principles of risk measurement including Value at Risk, as well as various methods of asset and liability management, the liquidity gap, and interest rate gaps.

The course further investigates credit risk management through internal and external rating systems and credit risk models, as well as the critical role of capital requirements and securitisation in banking regulation.
