Steps to Take to Measure and Mitigate Interest Rate Risk

Presenter: John Hurlock

Duration: 1 hour

Price: $249 / $199 for Affiliation Members

In the current environment of historically low short-term interest rates, it is important for institutions to have robust processes for measuring and, where necessary, mitigating their exposure to potential increases in interest rates. The steps you take now go a long way toward representing to your regulator when the time comes that you are following sound practices for managing interest rate risk (IRR). In fact, the financial regulators issued an advisory in January, 2010, to remind institutions of their expectations for interest rate risk practices.

In this webinar, we will use case studies and examine existing issues, current trends, and challenges to help you develop a step- by- step process for IRR management, a process that addresses the risk exposures of today.

Topics include:

• Corporate Governance
• Policies and Procedures
• Measuring and Monitoring of IRR
• Measurement Methodologies
• Stress Testing
• Assumptions
• Risk Mitigating Steps
• Internal Controls and Validation
• Model Validation
