Introduction to Risk Management
What is risk? Why do firms manage risk? In this course, you will be introduced to the different types of business and financial risks, their sources, and best practice methods for measuring risk. This course will help you gauge different risk types and set risk limits, describe the key factors that drive each type of risk, and identify the steps needed to choose probability distributions to estimate risk. You will explore the history and development of risk management as a science, and financial and business trends that have shaped the practice of risk management. By the end of the course, you will have the essential knowledge to measure, assess, and manage risk in your organization. To be successful in this course, you should have a basic knowledge of statistics and probability and familiarity with financial instruments (stocks, bonds, foreign exchange, etc). Experience with MS Excel recommended.

It was amazing, however, when it comes to equations and formulas, I would like to have a more clear explanation, perhaps a en example on practical usage. Thank you

Reviewed Oct 4, 2021Very good and progressing learning curve with good assessment and discussion forums to help check our progresses . It is a shame that the discussion does not seem to be monitored ( responded) by the professor as some people might need support and more explanation on probability analysis and concept ( eg the concept of Distribution )

Reviewed Aug 14, 2023First I want to clarify that I study Risk Management because I thought it would increase my knowledge in the PM career, I'm in the 3rd week of this course, and the Instructor Mr. Joseph Iraci has great knowledge, yet He can't explain the subject well enough, or even stay on the same line of the discussion which leads me to get lost in too many threads on my head (don't know which is which or what belong to where) This course would be great if just someone goes over it and edits it to make it linked and clear enough for beginners to understand and wrap their heads around

Reviewed May 15, 2022The course is the good introduction of risk management fundamentals. It set the building blocks of the traditional market, credit, and operational risks and the addition of other emerging risk types and strips that constitute the foundations of risk management framework, development and applicatons. The use of relevant artefacts including papers, reports, and surveys as the course supports help for deepen understanding of the concepts. I recommend this course.

Reviewed Nov 22, 2024The "Introduction to Risk Management" course from the New York Institute of Finance was a great learning experience. It provided me with a solid understanding of different types of risks—such as financial, operational, and market risks—and the strategies used to manage and mitigate them. The course content was structured in a way that made even complex concepts easy to grasp, which I found particularly useful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their foundation in risk management, especially those in finance or business fields.
