Keeping up with DORA’s evolving expectations without slowing down deal flow or overburdening legal teams.

The situation this course is for

Teams in specialized finance struggle to align DORA’s broad mandates with the realities of aircraft leasing, fleet re-marketing, and cross-border collateral enforcement. Generic compliance guides don’t address the nuances of asset-backed exposures.

Who this is for

Senior finance practitioner in a regulated institution managing complex, long-duration assets with embedded operational risk.

Who this is not for

Entry-level analysts, general compliance officers without domain specialization, or practitioners outside asset-intensive sectors.

What you walk away with

  • Articulate the rationale behind resilience thresholds using real aviation-sector incidents
  • Reference exact DORA articles and EBA guidelines during internal reviews
  • Justify third-party risk controls using precedent from lessor-managed maintenance outages
  • Explain incident classification decisions with reference to ICAO event typologies
  • Build a personal library of source-backed responses for audit and peer review
