As financial intermediaries, banks mobilize funds from savers and channel them to capital users to finance economic activities. Equally important are their fiduciary, socio-economic, and developmental roles. Therefore, directors have great responsibility to shareholders and the public at large to ensure, through effective oversight of the board, that banks are operating in a sound manner. As banking business becomes more complex, a strong foundation in knowledge about banking is critical. Click here for more on our Banking Insights Curriculum.

Beyond protecting against adverse effects, insurance companies deliver far-reaching economic and social benefits. To deliver those benefits, insurance company executives must effectively and prudently manage risks, and directors must be certain that this is done to the highest standards. In this course, we look at how insurance companies differ from other financial service providers that grow their enterprises by increasing lending. We also examine the risks inherent in liabilities undertaken by insurers, and how those risks can be managed; what investments are sound and appropriate; and how policyholders, management, and directors can be confident of the strength and solvency of an insurer. Finally, we examine how liabilities and assets interact and how to assure there is an appropriate relationship between the two. Click here for more on our Insurance Insights Curriculum.
