Course Overview

Basel III & Basel IV is a comprehensive professional training course designed to equip banking executives, risk managers, compliance professionals, finance specialists, treasury managers, regulators, auditors, and decision-makers with the strategic knowledge and practical skills required to understand and implement the latest Basel regulatory frameworks. As global banking regulations continue to evolve following financial crises, economic uncertainty, and increasing supervisory expectations, Basel III and Basel IV have become fundamental pillars for strengthening financial stability, enhancing risk management, improving capital adequacy, and promoting resilient banking systems. The course provides participants with an in-depth understanding of the Basel III and Basel IV frameworks, including capital adequacy requirements, leverage ratio, liquidity standards, capital buffers, supervisory review, disclosure requirements, and the revised approaches to measuring credit, operational, and market risks. Participants will examine the practical implications of Basel reforms on banking operations, lending strategies, capital planning, profitability, regulatory reporting, and long-term business sustainability. The program also explores the relationship between Basel III & Basel IV and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), Corporate Governance, Regulatory Compliance, Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP), Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP), Stress Testing, Recovery Planning, Operational Resilience, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF), Treasury Management, Credit Risk Management, Market Risk Management, Liquidity Risk Management, Digital Banking Transformation, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, and strategic performance management. Participants will gain practical insights into aligning regulatory requirements with business strategy while maintaining financial strength and regulatory compliance. Through interactive workshops, Basel implementation case studies, capital adequacy simulations, liquidity management exercises, regulatory reporting activities, stress testing scenarios, and practical implementation planning, participants will strengthen their ability to interpret Basel requirements, assess organizational readiness, manage regulatory challenges, and support sustainable banking growth. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to contribute effectively to Basel implementation initiatives, improve risk governance, optimize capital utilization, and enhance institutional resilience.
