In the United States and Canada the RMA is a household name in the banking industry – indeed we will be celebrating our centenary in 2014. In the risk management arena we are the premier organisation for training, roundtables, conferences and peer sharing.
Building upon our considerable success in North America we are now expanding our offerings in Europe, focussing on open enrolment courses, programmes for future leaders and invitation-only roundtables where senior industry figures can share their thoughts with their peers on key areas of risk management which are of significance to all.

The Advanced Risk Management Programme at Cass Business School
The RMA/Cass Advanced Risk Management Programme, led by the faculty at Cass, one of the UK’s top business schools, is a one week programme for senior risk practitioners which exposes participants to a rigorous, yet inspiring blend of theory, practice and cutting edge-research, instilling knowledge and skills applicable to the real world of global business. The programme’s focus is as follows:

The programme is intended for business executives who are on track for broader assignments.

Roundtables
We hold a number of invitation-only roundtables in London and Paris for senior risk management professionals. These are professionally moderated events which are subject to Chatham House Rules and involve no more than 20 participants.
In 2013 there will be roundtables in London on Market Risk (15 May) and Counterparty Risk (16 May). Later in the year we will be holding roundtables in Paris on Sovereign Risk (14 November) and Credit Risk (date TBC).
Please contact your RMA Europe representative for further details about forthcoming RMA roundtables.
Industry Surveys
The RMA is very active in the area of financial industry surveys on topics of broad importance and significance to industry participants. These surveys are among the most in-depth available and we are proud that we are consistently able to have the world’s leading banks take part.
In 2013 we are teaming up with Deloitte to conduct an in-depth survey on key trends in global Collateral Management.
