Energy Risk magazine presents David Hirst on Operational Risk Management for Energy Companies Led by David Hirst, Director, Ainsty Risk Consulting Ltd incisive-training.com/opriskenergy
About the course Since the mid-1990s financial institutions have made progress in the identification, measurement and management of market and credit risk. As a result, these risks are better understood as are the limits to modelling them and active management of these risks possible in many areas. However, events such as; terrorist attacks, rogue trading losses at Société Générale and UBS, the Deepwater Horizon accident, volcanic eruptions and flooding have served to highlight that the scope of risk management - particularly in the energy sector, extends beyond merely market and credit risk. With its dependency on capital intense assets, complex systems and processes, and an ever changing regulatory and legal framework, the energy sector is particularly exposed to operational risks. The identification, measurement and management of operational risks are therefore vital to survival and success in the energy sector. Energy Risk Magazine is delighted to present this thought provoking two day training course on operational risk management tailored to the needs of energy companies. Led by former Head of Operational Risk Management at RWE Npower, David Hirst, this course will provide delegates with the relevant tools and techniques to enable them to better understand how to tackle operational risk in their day to day roles.
