Base III COURSE OVERVIEW:

Basel III is a global regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing, and market liquidity risk. Having initially been agreed upon by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in 2010–11. Changes to the Accord have extended the implementation to 31st March 2019. Basel III strengthens bank capital requirements by increasing bank liquidity and decreasing bank leverage.

Basel III differs from Basel I & II in that it requires different levels of reserves for different forms of deposits and other types of borrowings, so it does not supersede them so much as it does work alongside Basel I and Basel II.

This complex and constantly changing landscape can be hard to keep up with, our course and training will help you manage likely changes and their impact on your institution. We are accredited with and a training partner to the Basel Certification Institute and as such the quality and suitability of our training and material is guaranteed to be up to date and effective.
