    BUSINESS CONTINUITY & SCENARIO PLANNING

    Jan 10 & 11, 2017 | Certificate with 16.5 CPE Credits | Dubai, UAE

  • COURSE OVERVIEW

    A 2-day intensive course on Business Continuity and Scenario Planning focused on the banking / financial institution environment with a view to providing Banking Professionals with a firm foundation of the standards of best practice in the critical area Business Continuity Planning.

    Recent acts of terrorism, the outbreak of Ebola virus disease, data security breaches as well as various widespread natural disasters have underlined the substantial risk of major operational disruptions to the financial system. Financial authorities and financial industry participants have a shared interest in promoting the resilience of the financial system to such disruptions. The Basel Accords raised the profile of Operational Risk a decade ago, a call echoed by financial regulators worldwide. There are a range of challenges within the ambit of local and international best practice where financial service firms need to consider a wide range of complex issues including events that have not happened yet. One of the most crucial objectives of management is to learn how to deal with the new requirements with regard to Business Continuity Planning.

     

    Business Continuity Planning is the process through which an organization ensures the maintenance or recovery of operations, including services to customers, when faced with disruptive events such as natural disasters, technological failures, human error or terrorism. Business continuity is an ongoing priority for financial industry participants. Acts of terrorism over the past decade in New York, London, Istanbul, Madrid and elsewhere, the increasing frequency of data breaches such as the 2014 hacking of Sony’s computer system, outbreaks of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), the Avian Flu and the West African Ebola crisis, as well as various widespread natural disasters such as the 2011 Japanese Earthquake, Tsunami & Nuclear Power Plant Failure, the 2004 Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, have served to heighten that priority by underlining the substantial risk of major operational disruptions to the financial system.

     

    This course includes detailed business continuity case studies and an interactive section on developing effective scenarios.

  • AREAS COVERED IN THIS SESSION

    • The increasing complexity and operational risk across financial systems. 
    • The concentration of clearing and settlement processes in most financial systems. 
    • Deepening interdependencies among financial industry participants within and across jurisdictions. 
    • The recurring pattern of natural disasters or extreme weather conditions. 
    • The possibility of terrorist or other malicious attacks targeted, directly or indirectly, at the infrastructure of the financial system and its many participants.
