Liquidity Risk Management (including Basel III Liquidity Standards) Masterclass

A practical liquidity risk framework with hands-on LCR and NSFR calculation, IRRBB interaction, and case studies of both liquidity stress and best practice.

The programme

Adopting the Basel III liquidity standards on paper is easy; making them work in a practical banking environment is where institutions struggle. This masterclass takes a practical route through implementing a liquidity risk management framework and the Basel III liquidity standards, with spreadsheet-based exercises in calculating the LCR and NSFR and their interaction with interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB). Case studies of both liquidity stress and best-practice management — drawn from mature and emerging markets, current conditions and earlier crises — anchor the discussion of liquidity analysis, governance, forecasting, stress testing and contingency planning, along with derivative clearing and margining rules.

What you will do

Implement a liquidity risk management framework that survives contact with a practical banking environment.
Calculate the LCR and NSFR hands-on, and work through NSFR definitions, implementation challenges and expected impact.
Model cash inflows and outflows, contractual versus behavioural, and use them to anticipate liquidity issues before they arrive.
Identify the limits of traditional liquidity measures like the current and quick ratios, and apply a structured framework instead.
Find alternative liquidity sources when market access deteriorates, tracking the factors that change funding cost.
Support ALM from the liquidity perspective, optimising the balance sheet and running liquidity governance, forecasting and stress testing.
Audit the bank’s liquidity and Basel III liquidity framework, internally or externally.

Who attends

  • Asset/liability and balance-sheet management teams
  • Bank and country risk functions
  • Capital management and capital modelling teams
  • Compliance officers

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

Frequently asked

Is this liquidity risk course hands-on?

Yes. Participants calculate the LCR and NSFR through spreadsheet-based exercises and work through their interaction with interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB). Case studies of both liquidity stress and best-practice management — from mature and emerging markets, current conditions and earlier crises — anchor the discussion.

Who should attend this masterclass?

Asset/liability and balance-sheet management teams, bank and country risk functions, capital management and capital modelling teams, and compliance officers. It also equips internal and external auditors to audit the bank’s liquidity and its Basel III liquidity framework.

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

  • ALCO practice and treasury policy
  • Funds transfer pricing design and restructuring
  • IRRBB measurement: EVE and NII sensitivity
  • Liquidity risk: LCR, NSFR and contingency funding
  • Basel capital frameworks from Pillar 1 to Pillar 3
  • ICAAP and ILAAP construction and supervisory review

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
  • Modelling labs and balance-sheet simulations
  • 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.
