Strengthening Risk and Treasury Management for Banks under Basel III Masterclass

Basel III capital, liquidity and treasury discipline for Azerbaijani banks — buffers, LCR/NSFR, stress testing and FTP against an oil-exposed economy.

The programme

Basel III compliance in Azerbaijan is not a box-ticking exercise: banks must strengthen capital adequacy, liquidity risk management and leverage ratios against an economy exposed to oil price swings and currency pressure. Falling short invites regulatory penalties; getting it right builds resilience to the next financial crisis. This masterclass gives Azerbaijani banks practical guidance on aligning with Basel III principles — capital buffers and RWA, LCR and NSFR mechanics, stress testing for oil-dependent economies — and on running treasury and Funds Transfer Pricing so that risk and return line up. The cohort works through the regulatory requirements and the strategic tools that reach beyond them.

What you will do

Align capital adequacy, liquidity and leverage ratios with Basel III, strengthening buffers and risk-weighted assets.
Master LCR and NSFR requirements and manage liquidity through volatile markets.
Run stress tests for economic shocks, calibrated to oil-dependent economies.
Price funds internally through FTP so risk aligns with returns across the balance sheet.
Manage credit, market and operational risk with tools that hold under supervisory scrutiny.
Improve treasury management strategies for cash flow, liquidity and balance-sheet resilience.
Make informed decisions under financial stress, aligned with the Central Bank’s evolving regulations.

Frequently asked

Who is this Basel III risk and treasury training designed for?

It serves heads of treasury, risk and capital management, ALM, ALCO and credit risk professionals, forex teams, dealers, corporate treasurers and cash managers. Finance professionals, financial controllers, accountants, bank supervisors, business heads, investment managers and auditors will find the material equally relevant.

How is the programme adapted to the Azerbaijani banking context?

The masterclass reads Basel III through an economy exposed to oil price swings and currency pressure: stress tests calibrated to oil-dependent economies, LCR and NSFR mechanics for volatile markets, and Funds Transfer Pricing that aligns risk with returns. It keeps pace with the Central Bank’s evolving regulations while reaching for the strategic tools that go beyond compliance.

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
  • 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.
