Finbridge supports banks in current topics as well as scheduled and ad-hoc revision exercises on risk methodology, risk controlling, and risk management. Our expertise in both risk methodology and regulation allows us to provide our clients with a wholistic approach to internal and external risk measurement and risk reporting. This enables our clients' risk management units to react early to changes in regulatory requirements. Many of our consultants have ample project experience in the field and hold degrees in mathematics as well as industry relevant certificates (FRM, CFA, Frankfurt School Risk Managers).

  2. Integration of participation risk into the existing credit risk model – Landesbank
