Risk, Governance & Regulation

Risk is an inherent part of lending and every (financial) decision-making process. From credit risk to market risk, exchange rate fluctuations to internal fraud or environmental aspects, risks come in many forms and managing them is crucial for business success.

At Frankfurt School’s Risk Management Competence Centre, we believe that risk should be understood, not avoided, and our services are designed to equip financial institutions, FinTechs, and non-financial enterprises alike with the necessary tools to control it.

Our Core Competencies

With two decades of experience in successfully implementing risk management projects worldwide, we will change your attitude towards risk and help you navigate the complexities of today's ever-changing risk landscape.

We advise banks, microfinance institutions, investment funds, multilateral agencies and others in the management of risk. Our methodology is based on direct customer support, which involves coaching staff how to understand and monitor the key concepts and parameters of identified risks. Based on previous experience and international best practices, the typical risk management needs can be categorized into a framework of four interdependent risk layers, also depicted in the graph below:

FS Risk 360 is a comprehensive suite of tools and services by Frankfurt School's Risk Competence Centre that provides a 360-degree view of risk management across a range of categories, including credit provision, operations, financial management, and ESG and climate stress testing.

Credit risk is probably the most important risk many financial institutions face, therefore, its management is essential for the long-term success of banks and NBFIs. At Frankfurt School, we offer comprehensive and tailored credit risk solutions to help our clients assess creditworthiness, monitor credit portfolios, and manage credit risk. Our team of experts uses advanced modeling techniques and analytics to provide accurate risk assessments and insights, enabling clients to make informed credit decisions and maintain a healthy credit portfolio.
