About the course

This two day course provides delegates with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with Islamic finance. Islamic products have been somewhat sheltered during the credit crisis and in these risk averse times have become an increasingly attractive investment option.

Islamic finance is still a young area within banking and finance and so understanding the most up to date techniques for measuring and mitigating risks is essential for good business practice in this ever growing market. The course speakers will make extensive use of real life examples to help bridge the gap between theory and practice.
