By the time a bank breaches a regulatory threshold, most of its options have already closed. What decides the outcome is whether the institution saw the deterioration early enough — and whether the plan waiting on the shelf was ever tested. This intensive two-day masterclass works the full escalation chain: layered early warning indicators calibrated to fire while management still has choices, quantitative and qualitative recovery triggers linked to risk appetite and risk budgeting, credible recovery options with honest impact assessment, and resolution preparedness for the point at which recovery is no longer enough. Reverse stress testing locates the scenarios that would break the institution and calibrates the triggers against them. The programme covers the tools and techniques used to build and manage a Recovery and Resolution Plan, grounded in internationally recognised resolution standards rather than any single jurisdiction’s rulebook and adaptable to your own supervisory regime, alongside the real-life challenges of early intervention and of restructuring and resolving weak banks.

Frequently asked
What does the masterclass cover on recovery planning and resolution preparedness?
It covers the components of a credible recovery and resolution plan — recovery options, impact assessment on financial indicators and early intervention — and then resolution preparedness itself: operational resolution plans, the objectives, authority powers and tools common to resolution regimes, and the conceptual and operational issues in restructuring and resolving weak banks. The programme is deliberately jurisdiction-neutral, built on internationally recognised resolution standards and adaptable to the regime your institution reports under.
How are early warning indicators and recovery triggers set?
The cohort sets quantitative and qualitative triggers with layered early-warning indicators that fire before it is too late, links risk appetite and tolerance to bank risk budgeting so thresholds mean something, and applies reverse stress testing to locate the scenarios that would break the institution — then calibrates triggers against those results.
Who should attend the recovery and resolution planning course?
Heads of recovery, CROs and heads of risk; heads of treasury, balance-sheet management, ALM and market risk; ICAAP and ILAAP programme directors and project managers; recovery and resolution planning teams, capital management, finance and compliance leads; and senior executives, business heads and regulators.
What is the format, and is it available in-house?
It is an intensive two-day masterclass, delivered by BIZENIUS in English or French, with in-house editions tailored to your institution’s recovery plan and supervisory dialogue. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided 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
- Enterprise risk framework design and risk culture
- Risk appetite, limits and risk and control self-assessment
Where they have practised
Current and former practitioners — people who hold the seat today alongside those who have held it.
Sectors: Banking & financial services · Insurance · Professional services · 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.
