Content
Professional risk management is important and feasible for both large and medium-sized companies, regardless of their size. The seminar deals with how to determine the positions for financial risks and how to present and interpret risks from them. Subsequently, it is necessary to decide whether and how risks are to be hedged. Modern methods for "smart" and efficient hedging can be used. Meaningful reporting rounds off risk management.
The optional third module (half day) covers risk calculation in Excel.
