Basel III’s three ratios read simply and implement painfully. This two-day masterclass offers practical guidance on the LCR, NSFR and leverage ratio — implications and calculations — including the differences between full and modified LCR, and how the Liquidity Coverage Ratio is applied in the US versus key member countries of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The format is interactive, pairing lectures with topical articles on recent developments in Basel III implementation and the liquidity standard. The cohort works through optimising high-quality liquid assets, net cash flows and haircuts, the leverage ratio’s compliance burden, and the liquidity reporting expected of the institution.

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
- Market and counterparty credit risk measurement
- Recovery planning and regulator engagement
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
