The seminars are aimed at chief executive officers, chief operating officers, chief financial officers and other executive-level officers of banks and thrift institutions.

Topics will include the risk-management process, risk-control strategy, credit-rating systems and loan pricing, interest-rate risk, factoring risk into product evaluations and incentive systems, and implement ing a comprehensive risk-management system. Speakers at the seminars will be experts in the field of risk management from industry, the reg ulatory agencies, and educational institutions. Seminar participants will also have the opportunity to share experiences and ideas through roundtable discussions. The seminars are offered by the Examination Council in response to a provision in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 that the Council “develop and administer training seminars in risk management for its employees and the employees of insured financial institu tions.” Tuition for the seminar is $350.
