Governance, Risk Management & Compliance (GRC) Fundamentals Training Course

Description:

Basel III serves as a global regulatory framework governing bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Originally established by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–2011, the implementation timeline for the Accord has been extended to March 31, 2019. By enhancing bank liquidity and reducing leverage, Basel III significantly strengthens capital requirements for financial institutions.
Unlike Basel I & II, which applied uniform standards, Basel III mandates varying reserve levels based on the type of deposits and borrowings. Rather than replacing its predecessors, it complements Basel I and Basel II by addressing their limitations.
Navigating this complex and evolving regulatory landscape can be challenging. Our course and training are designed to help you anticipate changes and manage their impact on your institution.
