Basel III for Financial Institutions: Latest Reforms & Updates
A Two-Part, Online Course
Date: 24th & 25th February 2021
Basel III was first introduced over a decade ago as an attempt to remedy serious shortcomings of Basel II highlighted by the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-8. In particular, Basel II led to insufficient capitalization of banks, insufficient bank liquidity, and furthermore, did not provide a meaningful macroprudential framework to deal with systemic risk, that being whole-system failure.
Since its first release in 2009, there have been several extremely important updates which practitioners need to be aware of. These include, for example, the market risk amendment released in 2016, which changed the way both market risk and credit risk capital charges are calculated for traded securities. Additionally, there are important changes to the standardized approach for credit risk, which impacts capital charges for banking book positions, an entire replacement of prior methods used for operational risk, and IFRS9 has replaced IAS39, with important consequences for credit risk provisions.
This highly interactive course offers a valuable and timely opportunity for banking practitioners to update their knowledge of Basel regulations. The course will provide an in-depth understanding of amendments to Basel III since its introduction, as well as giving a thorough overview of Basel III in its entirety to ensure delegates who are less familiar with banking regulations are able to significantly advance their awareness.
