Enhancing Risk, Compliance and Capital Adequacy: Regulatory Priorities under Basel III

Basel III capital adequacy, liquidity and stress testing turned from regulatory burden into institutional resilience — ICAAP, ILAAP, IRRBB and risk appetite in one programme.

The programme

Regulatory scrutiny keeps rising, and institutions that treat Basel III as a reporting exercise pay for it twice — in penalties and in balance sheets that crack under stress. This intensive masterclass equips risk, compliance, finance and treasury professionals to manage capital adequacy, liquidity risk, stress testing and regulatory reporting in line with Basel III standards. The cohort works through leverage ratios, capital buffers and risk-weighted assets, LCR and NSFR requirements, ICAAP, ILAAP and IRRBB, stress-testing methodologies and risk appetite frameworks — alongside central bank expectations, ESG risk integration, and the operational and cyber risks of digital banking, with attention to the specific challenges of Africa’s economy.

What you will do

Meet Basel III standards for capital adequacy, from leverage ratios to capital buffers and robust risk-weighted assets.
Master LCR and NSFR requirements and manage liquidity through volatile market conditions.
Run stress testing and scenario analysis that stands up in regulatory reporting.
Strengthen ICAAP, ILAAP and IRRBB processes, bound together by a working risk appetite framework.
Align with central bank and reserve bank expectations, minimising penalties as regulation evolves.
Integrate ESG into the risk management process, and mitigate operational and cyber risk in digital banking.
Make informed strategic decisions under financial stress, with a balance sheet built to absorb it.

Who attends

  • Treasury, capital management and ALM teams
  • Risk, credit risk and operational risk functions
  • Finance professionals, financial controllers and ALCO members
  • Bank supervisors, auditors, corporate treasurers and investment managers

Cohorts bring together board members, executives and the rising leaders behind them — kept deliberately small, so every seat is a peer’s.

Frequently asked

What does the Basel III risk and capital adequacy masterclass cover?

The programme covers capital adequacy — leverage ratios, capital buffers and risk-weighted assets — LCR and NSFR requirements, ICAAP, ILAAP and IRRBB, stress-testing methodologies and risk appetite frameworks, alongside central bank expectations, ESG risk integration, and the operational and cyber risks of digital banking.

Is the course relevant to banks in emerging markets?

Yes. Beyond the universal Basel III framework, the masterclass pays specific attention to the challenges of Africa’s economy, and its focus on aligning with central bank and reserve bank expectations as regulation evolves applies wherever supervisory scrutiny is intensifying.

Who should attend, and how do we obtain dates and fees?

It is designed for treasury, capital management and ALM teams, risk functions, finance professionals, controllers, ALCO members, bank supervisors, auditors, corporate treasurers and investment managers. Sessions run on a rolling calendar in English or French, with an in-house edition tailored to your institution; dates are confirmed on request and fees quoted on enquiry.

Who teaches this

Practitioners, not presenters.

Led by practitioners who hold, or have held, the seats this programme prepares you for: group treasurers and heads of asset–liability management, chief risk officers, heads of credit and capital management, and former central-bank supervisors who examined the very frameworks they now teach. Between cohorts the same people advise banks on those frameworks, so what you learn is what is being defended in front of boards and regulators today.

What the bench brings

  • Basel capital frameworks from Pillar 1 to Pillar 3
  • ICAAP and ILAAP construction and supervisory review
  • Stress-testing methodologies and capital planning
  • Liquidity ratios and leverage under Basel III/IV
  • Risk-based AML/CFT programmes and systems
  • KYC, client acceptance and sanctions screening

Where they have practised

Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.

Sectors: Banking & financial services · Professional services · Insurance · Central banking & supervision

Regions: Africa · the Middle East · Europe · Asia · the Americas

How they teach

  • Live case studies from real institutions
  • Worked exercises on realistic bank data
  • Regulator-style challenge sessions
  • Group problem-solving on realistic institutional cases
  • Knowledge checks and a personal action plan

Cohorts are kept small so every exercise is worked on the participants’ own situations — in person or live virtual.

Capital frameworks built to run the bank, not to satisfy a filing

Most frameworks are written to satisfy the regulator. We build the kind that run the bank.
