DataPro has unveiled plans for a training program designed to equip professionals, team members and other stakeholders within institutions and organizations with the technical expertise and enterprise-wide perspective needed to consolidate Credit, Market, Operational, Compliance and Liquidity risks into a cohesive ERM framework, execute complex risk calculations including IFRS 9 ECL, VaR, and EVE, and meet Basel III/IV and CBN RBS requirements with confidence.
Through stress testing simulations and practical application of the Three Lines of Defense, participants will transition from a reactive mindset to a value-driven, proactive risk culture that safeguards institutional resilience and optimizes risk-weighted returns.
This One Week Bootcamp is designed to elevate risk professionals from operational executors to strategic enterprise risk leaders — building the technical proficiency, regulatory fluency, and cultural authority needed to proactively identify, integrate, and mitigate risks across the institution, while driving informed decision-making that balances regulatory compliance with sustainable business performance.
“We invite you to register your staff for this intensive face-to-face program to sharpen their enterprise risk management expertise with confidence and precision”, the statement from the company said.
The program is as follows:
Date: Monday, 3rd – 7th August, 2026
Medium: Physical Face-to-face Training
Time: 9am to 5pm daily
Venue: DataPro Academy
34A Awori Street
Dolphin Estate,
Ikoyi, Lagos
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
· To demonstrate the ability to move beyond “siloed” thinking by integrating Credit, Operational, Market, and Liquidity risks into a single, cohesive Enterprise Risk Management framework.
· To acquire the technical proficiency to execute complex financial risk calculations, including IFRS 9 ECL modeling, Value at Risk (VaR) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE).
· To navigate and implement local and international regulatory mandates, ensuring the organization meets Central Bank’s Risk-Based Supervision (RBS) requirements and Basel III/IV standards.
· To design and execute rigorous, multi-factor stress tests that evaluate institutional stability against “severe but plausible” macroeconomic shocks and emerging threats.
· To lead the transition from a compliance-only mindset to a value-added risk culture, effectively utilizing the Three Lines of Defense to protect assets while optimizing risk-weighted returns.
