Payment System Oversight and Risk Management
A five-day programme on payment system oversight and risk management, covering PFMI principles, settlement, credit and liquidity risk, operational and cyber resilience, access and governance, supervisory assessment, and crisis coordination.
Introduction
The Payment System Oversight and Risk Management Training Course prepares supervisors and payment professionals to oversee payment systems with rigour and manage the risks that run through them. Payment systems carry the daily flow of value across an economy, and disruption or weakness in one system spreads quickly. This course explains how oversight frameworks work and how payment risks are identified, measured, and controlled. It covers the PFMI principles, settlement and liquidity risk, cyber resilience, and access policies. Furthermore, it applies supervision techniques, risk assessment, and crisis coordination. As a result, participants oversee payment systems that remain safe and efficient.
