This eCourse consists of three modules on Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR). Module 1 analyses how CCR is generated within financial markets and shows how the scale of exposure can be initially assessed.

Module 2 describes some of the risk management tools and techniques in managing CCR, focusing on both settlement risk and pre-settlement risk. It also looks at how a CVA desk works and how it charges for its services. Finally, capital adequacy requirements and the regulatory perspective relating to CCR are examined.

Module 3 moves beyond the identification of counterparty credit risk and focuses on the way it is measured today, while understanding that 'the only constant is change'.
