Within all these banks numerous systems and processes are in place to cope with this unimaginable large sum of money. But risks do not only arise from credit risk, it arises in nearly all the processes within such an organization. To get a better understanding of risks, institutions are constantly looking for new ways to support their risk management practices. In doing so they use complicated models and are increasingly looking to smart methods like machine learning.Accenture offers you the possibility to experience this new revolution from the front row. You are expected to write a master thesis based on quantitative scientific research into the related concepts, application and value of financial risk management in the Dutch banking industry.
