Bank Capital Adequacy Under Basel III
The overall goal of this two-day course is to provide participants with a general overview of current financial regulation under the Basel Accords. We achieve this by a combination of theory and practice, including case studies from financial institutions, as well as reviewing the actual regulatory documents from the Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS), the European Banking Authority (EBA), the EU Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) and Capital Requirements Directive IV (CRD IV).
Who should attend?
The course is suitable for risk managers, regulators, internal auditors, bankers and analysts, but is also appropriate for a broader audience who wish to gain insight into capital adequacy and its importance for banks. It is targeted at an intermediate level and assumes only a basic understanding of accounting, financial products and banking functions.
