Description:

Basel III is a global regulatory standard governing bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Initially agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11, amendments to the Accord have extended implementation until 31st March 2019. Basel III strengthens bank capital requirements by enhancing bank liquidity and reducing bank leverage.
Unlike Basel I and II, Basel III mandates varying reserve levels for different types of deposits and borrowings; rather than replacing them, it operates alongside these earlier frameworks.
Given the complexity and constant evolution of this regulatory landscape, keeping pace can be challenging. Our course and training are designed to help you anticipate likely changes and manage their impact on your institution. We are accredited and serve as a training partner to the Basel Certification Institute, ensuring that the quality and relevance of our training materials remain up to date and effective.
